THE MESSENGER

Another film about soldiers back from war,but with a twist. This wounded, damaged and decorated soldier is assigned (as therapy)to be one of those guys that goes to soldiers' families to officially inform them  in the case of the death of the  soldier in action.

Before seeing this film,..i knew i was in for a waterfall of tears.But it wasn't just a story of woe and dread....it had some more fleshy meat underneath and inbetween(as most great films do).

i cried not much,thought a little and laughed a little. It was a natural story ...or rather it was told naturally and trully. This was refreshing to watch i mean like a presentation of a different pscyhological angle to it all .

awsome pairing btw of Benjamin Foster and Woody Harrelson.Ben is beginning to steal my heart as an actr and it was a thing of beauty to see Woody go all downtown dramatically speaking.Home run.

as usuall its in my humble opinion.
