Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Drugs, government, truths, mustaches. "Kill the Messenger" is an admirable journalism thriller that takes on a lot of big subjects.
– Adam Graham,
Detroit News,

rotten:
A resonant journalistic cautionary tale gets packaged as a hokey thriller in Kill the Messenger, a movie with a message that isn't nearly as urgent as it needs to be.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,
10 Oct 2014
fresh:
It's oversold and under-reported. But Kill the Messenger flies high on Jeremy Renner's all-stops-out performance as 1990s-era journalist Gary Webb. Flaws aside, the film inspires a moral outrage that feels disconcertingly timely.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
10 Oct 2014
rotten:
Cliches and obviousness litter the movie.
– Wesley Morris,

fresh:
Kill the Messenger does a credible if not dazzling job. In fact, the movie is a lot like the reporting that inspired it: a good introduction to a diabolically tangled tale.
