Editorial Review:
Private James Reese ("Pulp Fiction's" Christopher Walken), a misfit G.I. station in Western Europe, has landed in the stockade more than once thanks to his violent temper, and even his girlfriend asks him to seek psychiatric help. Unexpectedly, Reese is driven to a secluded country mansion, a hospital-like facility with few patients or staff members. Without explanation he's assigned to a room with Miles ("Deliverance's" Ronny Cox), a young American suffering from terminal cancer and bouts of aggressive, violent behavior. Slowly Reese uncovers the horrifying truth involving medical experimentation, with humans used as guinea pigs in brain control research.
The Mind Snatchers Reviews:
Should be 0 stars 
2004-11-22 - This movie is terrible. You can barely hear what they are saying and it will bore the hell out of you. Turned off before end.
A five - if you're watching for Christopher Walken.......... 
2003-09-07 - Not a great film - good ideas, but it should either have either been expanded or stripped down to a BBC TV play. Joss Ackland and Ronny Cox both give the expected quality performances as the misguided scientist and the terminal cancer patient who is given ecstasy (with a small e) as the way out of personality problems. But the reason you'll buy this DVD is the young Christopher Walken. ... Combine this performance with that in the Anderson Tapes and it is easy to see why he could have been up for Han Solo or the lead in Love Story. Charisma, intelligence, phwoaar and acting ability. He makes it all look so easy.........
