Review of The Messenger (2009) by Michael V — 18 Nov 2011
"Powerfully-acted, Ben Foster gives his best & most overlooked performance of his career. Ever since Alpha Dog (another poweful performance he gave that was overlooked), I wanted to see him handle leading role and he just nailed it without no problem. Samantha Morton, steals nearly each scene with emotion & gives some of the best lines of the movie. Jena Malone who's had a very bad start in her movie career (choosing bad roles) has been finally getting it together with in choosing good movie choices such as Into The Wild and this. Good performance in a small role.".
But the real star of the movie was Woody Harrelson, who rightfully deserved the Oscar nod. He gives the best performance of his career, just an amazing confidence.".
