Nov 18, 2009 · It isn't a mistake. "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.
The Messenger has incredible acting by Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson, and Samantha Morton. The film has a curious flow to it. It begins predictable, yet remains engaging, exposing a heart-breaking consequence of war no family wants to face. Although the news remains the same, emotions run just as deep at each door.
