***MINIMAL SPOILERS*** This is a remake of the 1962 movie written by Richard Condon, and the theme is about brainwashing. The remake's background is the Gulf War incidents versus the 1962's version of the Cold War Directed by John Frankenheimer. The 1962 stars Frank Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey, Janet Leigh, and Angela Lansbury. The 2004 version stars Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, and Jon Voight, Directed by Jonathan Demme. The 2004 version adequately tells the story; the central theme has not changed from the original storyline.
This remake of the classic film with Frank Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey, Angela Lansbury and Janet Leigh does the original script honor. Denzel Washington, as usual, is terrific, and Meryl Streep and Liev Schreiber deliver the goods. Streep presents a character that is at once the classic domineering mother on a worldwide political stage, while giving insight into the darkness of her real relationship to her son and her own ambitions. Very nice piece of work here. Action is really good, not too much but just enough to keep the plot moving. The tension builds at a good pace. The characters are sharply defined doing service to the original plot. Jonathan Demme is up to his usual excellence and the viewer is rewarded because of it. Highly recommend. Get out the popcorn and settle in.
Denzel Washington has replaced. James Bond as my favorite movie hero!

Watched this awhile back and every now and then would think of it. Meryl Streep was excellent, but then she always is. Very good movie.
