I caught Kill the Messenger (2014) yesterday, the new release starring Jeremy Renner, based on the real-life story of journalist Gary Webb.
Renner’s performance makes the film worth seeing, though it may have lacked a few punched here and there. Overall, it was a solid viewing, regardless of where you fall on the political lines the film draws at times.
via imdb:
A reporter becomes the target of a vicious smear campaign that drives him to the point of suicide after he exposes the CIA’s role in arming Contra rebels in Nicaragua and importing cocaine into California.
heard whiplash was phenomenal
Thanks. will add it to the list.
Chess – I really don’t know what’s in the movie, but if one considers that Vice President at the time George Bush was the former head of the CIA, and future President Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas where the Mena airport was being used to bring the cocaine in, then this picture becomes super creepy… http://panamaed.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/clinton-bush-wallace-and-lisa-taylor-wallace.jpg
