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
