The modern version of Manchurian Candidate stars Denzel Washington in a remake of the classic version of the Manchurian Candidate (1962). The setting has been changed to make it more contemporary -- the soldiers were in Kuwait during the first Gulf War, and the Presidential race has a much more modern feel to it.
It's a good film to watch for the visuals, and the acting is top-notch. While not as heavily lauded as the original, it's a good update to this cautionary tale.
