The Manchurian Candidate
Everything is under control.
Years after his squad was ambushed during the Gulf War, Major Ben Marco finds himself having terrible nightmares. He begins to doubt that his fellow squad-mate Sergeant Raymond Shaw, now a vice-presidential candidate, is the hero he remembers him being. As Marco's doubts deepen, Shaw's political power grows, and, when Marco finds a mysterious implant embedded in his back, the memory of what really happened begins to return.

Some major plot holes: Even though Marco removed his and Raymond's implants from the back, both of them were still able to get controlled! If there are 2 implants, what's even the point of the back one? Was Raymond always being controlled, or did he want all of it? Because if he were controlled, he wouldn't keep saying sorry while unaliving the senator, or he wouldn't say that he was the enemy when he met with Marco during the voting.
