Nov 18, 2009 · "The Messenger" is an empathetic drama about two men who have that job. One is Capt. Tony Stone ( Woody Harrelson ), an old hand at breaking the news. The other is Staff Sgt. Will Montgomery ( Ben Foster ), who was wounded in combat in Iraq and is serving out the last three months of his tour.
User Reviews. 'The Messenger' is powerful and engaging film. Brilliantly acted film depicting two soldiers whose job it is to inform families when loved ones are killed in battle. Harrelson has never been better and Foster more than matches him all the way. It's emotional and engaging and genuinely painful at times.

9/10. Restrained and ambitious. oyason 7 August 2010. THE MESSENGER is by far and away one of the best works of art that addresses the deep tragedy behind the current U.S. war in the Middle East that I've seen.
