This plan is on track and will succeed, unless two men can make sense of their nightmares. Raymond has a chip implanted in his skull which will allow Manchurian to control him.
A stage mother from hell, she pushes her son Raymond ( Liev Schreiber) into the vice presidency a timely assassination will make him president. Eleanor Shaw, who has sold her soul to the Manchurian Global Corp. In the new version, right-wingers pose as liberals to win office while neutering the left.

In what would normally be a throwaway role in any other movie, his two minutes in the beginning of this movie set the bar for what is to come for the rest of its running time. Wright is the greatest living character-actor working today.
But the real standout performance of the film belongs to Jeffrey Wright. Schreiber again proves he can hang with the big boys, only problem is that his last attempt at “hanging” left him hung in the flop Sphere. Watching Streep and Schreiber together makes me think of conversations between Norman Bates and his mother in the Psycho movies. She gives the most bloodcurdling performance of her career, stealing every scene (as most villains do) with amazing grace. Like Denzel, Streep’s “Eleanor Shaw” is magnificent. He can play the same role a thousand times and still have you enchanted from beginning to end. Most actors when they play, similar roles over and over lose their intensity, lose their intrigue, and then lose our patience. It is its own entity.ĭenzel does what only he can do best portray a United States soldier/veteran who has major issues. So if you are sick and tired of all this election mumbo jumbo, don’t worry this flick doesn’t get preachy. However evil the politicians may be in this movie, there is no sign of a swing left or right (even with Al Franken popping up from time to time).
Politically this film is right down the middle, as should be one’s point of view when heading into the theatre. Of course I sincerely doubt John Kerry has an implant in his head, but Bush on the other hand, ….well that’s another story for another time on another website. Problem is, during the course of his campaign trail Captain Marco uncovers a deep and dark truth as to what really happened when the two were in battle.įresh off the media’s saturation of the Democratic National Convention, this film tweaks your interest and holds true to modern day America. Now he’s a congressman from New York who has been thrown into the mix for Vice Presidential candidacy, much do the delight of his heartless bitch Senator of a mother (Meryl Streep). Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Shreiber) served under Captain Marco in Kuwait and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his courage under enemy fire. Even thirteen years after his initial tour of duty he still feels some of the effects. Captain Ben Marco (Denzel Washington) suffers from “Gulf War Syndrome”.
