Rating: 6.8/10 -- It is relentlessly bleak, even in its lighter moments. The downbeat tone is wearying. These days, we just need some hope. Full Review

Jun 15, 2011
An extraordinary anti-war film that does not engage in polemics. The Messenger's extreme effectiveness is due to the brilliant acting of Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson. Full Review
