This 2004 remake of the 1962 original film was interesting and as good as the original. Starring Denzel, it tells a story of political intrigue, brainwashing and corporations controlling politicians. The original starred Frank Sinatra in one his best movie roles.
Updated nicely for technological advances, it still is a startling film and not so very far-fetched in many ways, especially with the technological advances.
A thriller and a morality tale, this film (both the films) work well on both levels. A great supporting cast, especially Meryl Streep give very nice back up to Denzel who is still expanding his oeuvre. And doing it very well.
Once in awhile just a tad overdone in the dream sequences, otherwise very good.
