Warner’s 4K presentation is immaculate, and the bountiful bonus features makes this one of the best — if not the best — physical media releases of the entire Monsterverse up to this point. For fans, this disc comes highly recommended.

Jonathan Demme’s 2004 take on The Manchurian Candidate has honestly aged rather well. The acting is stellar, there’s plenty of tension, and many of this update’s core ideas remain as prescient and as timely as ever.
