The acting in Kill The Messenger can't be faulted. I just wish the movie itself was as focused and driven as Renner's performance.

Rating: 3/5 --
Presented as a mixture of journalistic woe and political conspiracy, a brightly scrubbed cast and a tightly wound pace manage to make the best use of its running time.

Not since 2003's Shattered Glass has the journalistic pursuit of truth been presented on screen as such a mortally serious matter of honour.

KILL THE MESSENGER indicts the government and media outlets for a smear campaign to discredit Webb.
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 4 -- Renner’s performance as investigative journalist Gary Webb is one of the more authentic portrayals of an old-fashioned, telephone-working, note-taking, go-to-where-the-story-takes-you reporter in recent memory.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Solid, though director Michael Cuesta doesn't have the journalistic balls of his subject.

Jeremy Renner is superb as a reporter ruined by his biggest story, but The Parallax View this isn't.
