The Messenger


Keeping with the military theme - this film reminds me of the Kevin Bacon made-for-tv movie called 'Taking Chance' about a military escort officer who takes a dead soldier's body home.
In this film by first time director and IDF vet Oren Moverman - Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma) star as soldiers who have the worse job in the army - they go to homes and tell families that a relative has died in war. You don't want to see these guys coming to your door. Check out the trailer - it looks pretty good!

  2. Ben Foster gets my vote for most under-rated character actor in Hollywood. He is intense in every role he plays from Six Feet Under to 30 Days of Night.
