In anticipation of the remake being launched, I rented the original with Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury. Let me tell you that this movie is good. The rental is well worth it as a top notch thriller, and I had no idea as well that Frank Sinatra could act, and act well.
What are your thoughts on this movie? Liked the original? What are you hoping for in the remake? Do you think Denzel Washington can pull this off?

I haven't seen the original, but I will say this much...
Denzel Washington, is one of the best actors out there right now, if anyone can pull anything off... it's him! |

Go rent the original, as I've been told that there is enough different with the two movies to give it a fun suprise |

Well the first was about communism, the second is about capitalism. |

How is a movie about soldiers brainwashed in combat to kill the president about Communism or Capitalism? |

That’s not what it was about. A brainwashed soldier is on the bill for V.P. After the president wins the election they assassinate him and bam you got the brainwashed vice president as the new president who can be controlled. |
