The Messenger
Crit
Another good Iraq War film unlikely to be much seen. Woody Harrelson, god love him, pretty much just plays Woody Harrelson again, and some of the dialogue comes from the Army/Navy Surplus store, but Ben Foster shows some chops--particularly the ability to work effectively with silence--that we haven't seen before.

I found The Messenger somewhat less affecting than I expected, perhaps because I never did know what Will was really about. The Hurt Locker struck me as more troubling and powerful. Still, it was worth seeing.
