It was a movie that made me think, as it involved a different angle to a subject that I knew something about. The trailer suggest that the movie is about the true story of Gary Webb's article that suggest the CIA were evolved with drug dealing as a way to fund a war in the 1980's, but as the title of the movie described the people read the article and ran with their own conspiracies which lead to a CIA cover up that lead to Webb's downward spiral.It is an Intriguing tell of a journalist trying to keep his integrity while forces were trying to ruin it to keep their own.Jeremy Renner drove his acting vehicle well, not well enough in my opinion to win an Oscar or anything, but it proves that he can headline anything.Definitely a good movie to sit through.

Government cover ups and how people tried to uncover them are always a good source for a movie. It's the whole thing about David versus Goliath sort of. Overcoming odds that seem too big too overcome. But not all stories do end like most would want them too. Will this be any different and did you already know the case? Because as you may already know, this is based in reality/true story.It's really suspenseful from beginning to start and it will be able to keep you at the edge of your seat. The one time Bourne substitute and Avengers team player can show off some other talents here. And Jeremy Renner did so before of course (remember Hurt Locker?), though some may have forgotten. This is to remind everybody of that raw material he's working with. A really good movie from start to finish

This story is wild and out of control, yet this movie about it is so tame and feel good and predictable and even a bit boring. I really think the director has missed an opportunity to make a great, suspenseful movie.I would rather watch any classic paranoia thriller from the seventies like "All The President's Men", " The Parallax View" or "Three Days of the Condor". Those movie are about government conspiracies as well, but those seventies classics are full on suspenseful and riveting from the beginning till the very end, while "Kill The Messenger" consists of a lot of husband and wife talks, which simply deflates any thrill.Conclusion: tedious execution of a fascinating story.
