    Film review ·

    In Captain Phillips, the filmmakers make the protagonist the good guy, but in Kill the messenger, they leave a gray shade over the hero in question. Sure, he gets to drive a motorcycle like a Hollywood action hero once, but he's not the uber clean guy one can rely on. That in itself makes it one of the better films we have seen this year.

    ​If you are a fan of Jeremy Renner, don't miss the film. He gives a fine performance as the staunch journalist, Gary Webb. ​Kill the Messenger is a vital story in the history of modern journalism and media ethics, that mustn't be missed.
