Review:  In 1996, Webb (Jeremy Renner) reported that the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) supported Nicaraguan rebels smuggle cocaine to the United States in exchange for raising funds to support secretly disadvantages. His startling revelation about the connection of CIA cocaine traffickers apparently not fall too well with the agency and its advertisers Cabinet - the mainstream press. Inevitably, Webb invited ballsy act against attack. Soon, the credibility of their sources of low life and journalistic integrity were interviewed. His own newspaper bowed to pressure that ethics, which eventually led him to doubt in the extreme.
Adapted from own "Dark Alliance" Webb and Nick Schou "kill the messenger" says Michael Cuesta not only the story of Gary Webb, but also highlights the manipulation of the media, politicians and the sacrifices imposed a reporter newspapers to do with the discovery of a plot.

"The reason why I had enjoyed smoothly for so long it was not because I was careful and diligent and good at my work ... the truth is that all these years, I had nothing important enough remove written "Webb admits in a speech.

An excellent Jeremy Renner manages the emotional upheaval, passion and excitement of the late Gary Webb brilliantly portray. His interpretation of the word free journalist's heartbreaking. Estrella 'The Hurt Locker "offers a performance worthy of an Oscar and shows why more superior than Hawkeye (The Avengers) deserve newspapers. Michael Sheen, Ray Liotta and Andy Garcia are effective in their cameos.

That secretly hunt shooting scene in the dark in the scenes of a park or in which the camera follows Renner as a man, fresh cinematography adds to the mystery and intrigue. Grim rhythm, taut and elegant, Kill The Messenger is definitely one of the best dramas of crime of the year. Look at him.
