Complicated, but not bad - The Manchurian Candidate review by CP Customer
The first time I got confused and fell asleep. Not a good sign! But second time round, I actually thought it was pretty clever and kept me engaged. Have to pay attention though!!

Non-memorable - The Manchurian Candidate review by A
At the time I saw it, I didn't actually think it was a bad movie... but now I couldn't suddenly remember at all that I've ever seen this movie...
