Entertainment Reviews:
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.

Rating: 3/5 --
Jeremy Renner is superb as a reporter ruined by his biggest story, but The Parallax View this isn't.

Rating: 3/5 --
Kill the Messenger is earnest and righteous but almost entirely lacking in thrills.

Times (UK)
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.

The Times of India
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.
USA Today
KILL THE MESSENGER indicts the government and media outlets for a smear campaign to discredit Webb.
