Kill The Messenger

Jeremy Renner stars in Kill The Messenger, a story about journalist Gary Webb who broke the story about the CIA's involvement in funding the war in Nicaragua with funds from the drug trade. It's a pretty compelling film and probably one of the best pieces of acting from Renner. Despite the great acting from a very nice cast, the film itself unfortunately seems to fall far short of the magnitude of it's subject matter.  It lacks in pacing and what should have been a more suspenseful buildup of the material.
