The Messenger is gripping.  The story is deep, it’s about war, not a fun subject. Ben Foster is Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Montgomery is partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers. Montgomery finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death. The story is  surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival.

But I really like this widget because it offers a lot of information about the movie. Enjoy!
