THE MESSENGER

[lety]

In the same year, Woody Harrelson starred two pearls. The first was the small blockbuster, fun, Zombieland. Then he makes a movie almost independent, and no fun, that the messenger, this time sharing the screen with Ben Foster.

The work that the two engage is notify the next of kin of the victims of the soldiers killed during the war. Nothing better to do the work than the manual. Between, say your lines, notify the family and go. Without physical contact, without clinging to people. They have to work fast, less than 24 hours, if they take longer than that, can people discover for some news.

The reaction of the people are the most diverse possible. A father (Steve Buscemi) screams with rage and almost the attacks. Olivia (Samantha Morton, the seer of Minority Report), just thank them. A family panics and sends them away because it can not be true. Each reacts in his own way, and Captain Stane believes that the best way to handle it is to remain indifferent. And with the exception of father and Olivia, they are not anymore.

Here we have another solid interpretation of Harrelson. Unlike other movie, he gives space to shine Foster, and it is he who commands the movie. Unlike his psychotic roles, and almost repetitive in Alhphadog, The indomitable and even participate in the show My name's Earl, here he plays a more balanced person. In fact, he has a chance to do a different character for a change, and does very well. Special mention to Buscemi, who on paper right always manages to surprise.

The film marks the debut of director Oren Moverman, who divides among his credits the authorship of the script I'm not there, the film biography most original I've ever seen, where Richard Gere, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and a boy of 8 years interpret Bob Dylan . Here, he uses his profession to analyze these two soldiers their lives. They are two clocks bomb ready to explode. Stane is a former alcoholic who can drink anytime. Montgomery represses all his feelings and it looks like they will explode at any moment. The only strange question, is why these people were chosen so complicated for a work so delicate.
