Contra to popular belief

Kill the Messenger (2014)

Directed by Michael Cuesta this film based on a true story stars Jeremy Renner, Romsemarie DeWitt, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Michael Sheen. During the 1990s a reporter at a minor American newspaper investigates alleged links between the CIA and drug dealers.

While this is an entertaining watch I am not sure it ever really gets to grips with the contraversial nature of it's subject. The script is a little too far on the side of the protagonist to handle things objectively. Despite the flaws I enjoyed the film and it has a great supporting cast filling many minor roles.


3/5
