Rating: 3/5 -- Presented as a mixture of journalistic woe and political conspiracy, a brightly scrubbed cast and a tightly wound pace manage to make the best use of its running time. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Grim, taut and smartly paced, Kill The Messenger is undoubtedly one of the best crime-dramas of the year. Watch it. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- What makes it most compelling is that it's actually a true story, told directly and sparely, and anchored by a superb performance by Jeremy Renner as investigative journalist Gary Webb.
