| Plot |
| Heartwarming, harrowing, and at times darkly comical, THE MESSENGER is a deeply felt story of the human cost of war at home.Ben Foster (3:10 TO YUMA), in his most powerful performance to date, as Will Montgomery, a battle-scarred Staff Sergeant home from Iraq and newly assigned to the Army's Casualty Notification service. Ordered to bear the bad news to families of fallen soldiers, and partnered with hard-line officer Captain Tony Stone (two-time Academy Award® nominee Woody Harrelson), Will faces this formidable mission while seeking comfort and healing back on the home front. Against protocol, Will is eventually drawn to Olivia (two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton), a recently fallen soldier's wife who has just been notified. In this emotionally charged landscape, THE MESSENGER brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and authenticity.One of the year's most critically acclaimed films, featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson, and Morton, THE MESSENGER is a surprising, moving, and ultimately human portrait of friendship, grief, and love. |
