Kunnianhimoinen tutkiva toimittaja (Renner) törmää sattumalta ainutkertaiseen tarinaan, kun hän paljastaa Yhdysvaltain hallituksen tiedusteluelinten ja Keski-Amerikan huumeiden salakuljettajien välisen yhteyden. Tavoitellessaan sinnikkäästi totuutta Webb vaarantaa uransa ja perheensä, kun hän päättää todistaa, että CIA käytti kokaiinista saatuja voittoja Contra-sissien rahoittamiseen ja jättää huomiotta viraston agenttien varoitukset.

Feeble directing spoils an interesting plot, it’s like Cuesta is just shooting another episode of Homeland, but the Messenger has definitely a lot to say. It slightly touched on almost the same problem as my bachelor’s thesis. It touched on almost the same problem as my bachelor’s thesis, Webb basically warned the CIA of the danger of the Internet as a means for spreading unpleasant information, but those who don’t know anything about this will be gobsmacked. Or fall asleep. Nicaragua was pretty filthy mess and terrorists wearing stars and stripes are something the world has got used to. A great film and Renner was excellent.

A subtle film in every aspect, but after watching it, I must say it pleasantly surprised me. As I’ve said many times before, films based on true events rarely disappoint me, and Kill the Messenger is no exception. The subject matter of the film was incredibly interesting, as I didn’t know anything about it beforehand. Jeremy Renner played the lead role, and it seemed tailor-made for him. Overall, the cast is very strong, with one well-known name after another. What I enjoyed most were the dialogues, which were engaging and well-thought-out. Anyone who enjoys this type of film will certainly appreciate it. I give it 80%.

The story itself is interesting. The effort of a person to fight for truth, while realizing that it's truly like fighting windmills and it can have very tragic consequences. If only the delivery wasn't so boring and if Jeremy Renner didn't try so hard. His character becomes annoying, and the story's significance fades away.
