'Manchurian Candidate' - High-Def Digest Review

[jed]

We just posted Peter's review of 'The Manchurian Candidate' on Blu-ray (which hits stores Jan 23). His final thoughts:

Though it could never be as prescient and timely as the original, Jonathan Demme's 2004 remake of 'The Manchurian Candidate' is an engrossing and intelligent thriller. Paramount produced a very solid HD DVD release of the film last summer, which this Blu-ray version easily matches. It has a couple problems here and there, but I liked both the transfer and soundtrack, and the extras ain't nothing to sneeze at, either. This may not be the disc you whip out as demo material to impress your friends, but it is another very respectable addition to Paramount's growing library of Blu-ray titles.
