Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The lack of a plausible leading lady is enough to sink what is otherwise an eye-catching, although heavily '90s-style, telling of one of history's most frequently filmed stories.

rotten:
Both visually spectacular and staggeringly awful.

I've never left a Luc Besson movie not thinking that the guy has Froot Loops for brains.

rotten:
The Messenger is a mess, and probably an unholy one at that.

rotten:
