While on a recent deployment to Iraq, US Army Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery is injured when an improvised explosive device goes off within close proximity to him. He is back in the States recovering from the more serious of those injuries, including one to his eye and leg. He has resumed a sexual relationship with his long time girlfriend Kelly, despite the fact that she is now engaged to another man who Will knows. With the few months Will has left in his enlistment, the army assigns him to the Casualty Notification Team in his area. Not having a background in counseling, psychology or grief management, he is unsure if he is well suited to this job. He is partnered with a career soldier, Captain Tony Stone, who teaches Will the precise protocol involved in the job. Tony tells Will, who quickly learns by on the job experience, that this job has its own dangers. As Will learns to adapt to the range of emotions of the next of kin, he is unprepared for the reaction of Olivia Pitterson, whose husband was killed in Iraq. His initial encounter with Olivia leads to him wanting to get to know her better, which may not be in either her or his best interest. Despite being a recovering alcoholic, the more experienced Tony tries to guide Will as best he can under their collective circumstances.

A glimpse into the American lives.
Every country has an ego. In this sense, some part of our humanity hasbeen stretched as far as possible, while other parts may have died aninfant death. War might be the best highlight to show this process.Yet, The Messenger has no direct portrait on warfare, it only shows youthe aftermath on certain human beings.Recovered from severe injuries in Iraq, war hero Sergeant WillMontgomery(Ben Forster) got an easy job from headquarter, that he willdeliver the casualty notification to the families. Mentored by theexperienced Captain Tony Stone(Woody Harrison), he actually found thenew assignment harder to swallow, as every casualty notification islike a sting to his scars not yet revealed to the audiences. Whiledoing the job, he met his life-time friend Kelly and decided to let hergo with her plan of marring another man. In their journey together,Stone kept pushing on his buttons with sarcastic comments on people'srelationship. Will, depressed with the situation, seek solace from awidow whom he just notified of her husband's death. Out of ethicalcodes, both Will and this lady didn't go further in their friendship.After a quarrel about notification procedures, Will and Stone seekcasual sex and indulged in getting drunk. They also showed up asunexpectedly on Kelly's wedding, which was messed up by their rudebehaviors. After they got sober, Will opened up to Stone about hismental scar, that it was his carelessness that killed one of hiscomrades......The Messenger is not a movie for entertainment, not even close. It'sconsistently depressing especially when tons of emotional bombs droppedon audiences when the family of dead soldier got the notification. Ifyou ever had any grief-struck experience, these scenes can be extremelygut-wrenching. If you are deeply depressed, the later acts of the moviewill even make you laugh...in a sad way.The Americans already had their "Lost generation" in the 1960s and1970s, which gave me, an Asian, an impression that the lost generationis past-tense. Yet, the modern American lives portrayed by the maincharacters rebuked this impression. Now, I know that Americans arestill producing lost generations.The whole cast in the movie is incredible, from Ben Forster and WoodyHarrison to those little roles. The flow of story allowed you to savortheir bitterness and get a glimpse in their vulnerable, yetwell-concealed souls. The climax lead to Stone break into tears, whichis both poignant and relaxing to see. In the term of narratingtechnique, the movie is quite an achievement.7/10. Decently made. Recommend to my left-wing friends who hateAmericans.

Bereavement Notification
You never know how you are going to be received, and knocking on the door of someone's home to tell them their son or daughter has been killed in the war is fraught with all kinds of danger. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have created a divide with all of us. We are split between the people who have been directly affected by the war and those who have not. Staff Sgt. Will Montgomery, played by Ben Foster is just home from Iraq with a medal for heroism. His superior officer has given him a new job to round out his time and the Army calls the job "bereavement notification." His new officer will be a captain named Tony Stone, played by Woody Harrelson. There are many rules to this new job and communication of the right kind is topmost. You only talk to NOK (next of kin), you never touch the NOK, you deliver the message sometime between 7am and 10pm at night. You provide a set sentence, letting the loved ones know their soldier was killed within the last 24 hours. Someone from the army will be in touch soon to assist. Is there someone we can call for you? You can imagine the responses are mixed, always sorrow and often hysteria. Many do not thank you, but most do. You are the bearer of horrible news. This takes its toll, and the two men drink or not, carouse, and at times talk. Communication is the name of the game. Both men have been through a great deal and have friends and lovers by the wayside. Very few of us understand what our soldiers have been through and there are several examples shown throughout the film. They have become a part of a very select part of society, and most of us will never enter that ring. I finished reading Sebastian Junger's book 'The War' a few days ago. Junger was embedded with an infantry platoon in Afghanistan. He tells the stories of the men and of the War. It is harrowing and exhilarating, and I recommend this book to all. Now, here I am at the other end of the schism. Someone has died, and most often traumatically. Families must be told. One helluva job.Recommended. prisrob 05-29-10Bang Bang You're DeadDefendor

Better than expected.
The Messenger starring Woody Harrleson and Ben Foster is a harrowing and realistic film about two war veterans who form an unlikely bond. Harrleson was nominated for an Oscar for this film, he's the kind of actor that really goes out on a limb with each performance. This is the first film I have seen with Ben Foster and wow what an amazing actor! His raw emotions and facial expressions are both profound and heartbreaking. I really enjoyed this film even though the subject matter is difficult to take here and there.

I agree with one of the previous user ratings, when they stated it was OSCAR WORTH>> The story, combined with the acting...Goes so Deep...It will move the hardest /coldest heart.

This movie is Deep, Well worth the money and i as well am going to buy it on DVD when it comes out.You will be seeing this movie for an Oscar Nomination.

A highly emotional gem of a film!
There has been a platoon full of bad Iraq war movies in the past fewyears, but it seems to be getting better. Kathryn Bigelow's "The HurtLocker" took home the Academy Award for best picture for 2009, and "TheMessenger" is just as engaging if not more so.Directed by Oren Moverman, "The Messenger" is about least desirable jobin the military, Casualty Notification Officer. Ben Foster and WoodyHarrelson lead a pitch perfect cast in this intensely emotional film.Staff Sergeant William Montgomery (Foster) is back home recovering froma bomb blast when for the last three months of his service time he isassigned to a local Casualty Notification Team. It is Captain TonyStone's (Harrelson) duty to show him the ropes. Stone, a Gulf War vetwho never saw any real combat, is a recovering alcoholic and a verylonely man. He is like a hollowed out steel statue of a man, who hashad to always keep a stern dignified face while delivering the worstnews a family could possibly get. Sergeant Montgomery is a veryskilled, very smart soldier but wonders how long he could last andagainst all protocol and judgment starts up a relationship with thewidow of deceased soldier, played by Samantha Morton. This relationshipis handled very well and like the rest of the film is grounded inreality.The notification scenes are absolutely heart wrenching and feel as realas it gets. Director Moverman really did his homework on the materialand wrote a fantastic script. He then surrounded himself with a groupof the finest actors and craftsmen around and made a truly moving film.As for Woody Harrelson you kind of forget how good an actor he is.After last summers horror blockbuster "Zombieland" he proves time andagain the kind of range he has. Then there is Ben Foster who hasquietly built a reputation as one of the finest actors around withroles in big budget films and small independent films like this one.The DVD has a 25 minute documentary about Casualty NotificationOfficer, a commentary track and a few other extras. A definite mustsee!

The human cost of war.
During my Air Force career one of the jobs I did was casualty affairs.Not the part depicted in this movie, but the front end of the job -preparing the dead for shipment and getting them home with an escort. Ihave always wondered how it was on the other end, and this film givesan outstanding view of that.Woody Harrelson was superb. I have to say I have no favorite memoriesof him, but he sure impressed me here.Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma, "Six Feet Under") plays his partner, asergeant with three months to go in the Army, who is tapped to donotifications until his tour of duty ends.The depiction of the grief occurring while they make death notificationwas believable and real. It was heart wrenching.

Unusual and sensitive
I will not reiterate the plot of The Messenger; it has been doneexhaustively already. The relevant facts, to me, are: This movie is awork of art in which the intentions of the director, writer,cinematographer and actors are all united. The actors, especially leadsBen Foster, Woody Harrelson and Samantha Morton, give subtle, nuancedperformances. The plot is not cookie-cutter; you cannot guess what isgoing to happen at every turn. It is serious at its core but is notdevoid of humor.Lately, I have been happier with the older movies I see on cable thanthe movies showing in theaters. This is the exception.

The best modern war film I've seen
The Messenger is the story of Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery, played by Ben Foster, a wounded soldier who has returned to the base and is placed on the notification team until the time of his discharge. Colonol Dorsett, played by Woody Harrelson in his best performance to date, shows him the ropes. The two are an unlikely duo, and despite both being combat veterans (Dorsett in Desert Storm), this assignment provides a very different stress. The two soldiers are on call every hour of every day. When a soldier dies, they race to notify the family before they hear about their love one's death somewhere else. Given their unique jobs, they spend more and more of their time together even when they're not working.The extended supporting cast members of this film are amazing. Their notifications are met with a variety of results, as we all process grief and shock differently. The supporting actors and actresses have one scene to deliver their messages of despair and grief. The film is a fascinating look into the human psyche, and it's the best war movie I've ever seen. It's a deep, thoughtful, uncomfortable look at the effects of war on individuals. Woody Harrelson was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but I'm surprised Samantha Morton was not nominated for Best Supporting Actress.The Messenger is not always an easy film to watch, but it's well worth the time. It's not a movie I want to watch over and over again, but it a film I will buy and watch once every year or two. Mostly, I'll pass along my dvd to anyone who will watch it. Everyone has jumped on The Hurt Locker bandwagon, but The Messenger is a better film. It's smarter, more nuanced and a more fascinating look at this war. I was surprised when it wasn't nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. There's no question it is one of the five best films of the year.

Flower in a garden of stone
How can a man overcome despair and reconstruct himself without love?Answer: he can't. This is the story of a rebirth. He returns from Iraqwith a torn body and in love of a woman he knows since his childhood.They break up as she does not see a future for him. This is perhaps themost beautiful scene of the movie. Their lovemaking at the beginning isone of the most beautiful scenes of lovemaking I have ever seen. Andyet, it carries a kind of finality with the terrible scene of thatevening dinner when they stare at each other, fully knowing it is over.It is a long dark road for him, as his new duty is to inform familiestheir sons and daughters have died in the line of duty. His commandingofficer is strictly forbidding any kind of relation or compassion withthe NOK (Next of Kin). And in pitch darkness he finds light with ayoung widow. Their story is as fragile as a desert flower after therain. A blossom with a future? Yes, because the seed is buried deep,and even separated by distance, their hearts know that they are meantfor each other. A beautiful love story it is. It is not about war, itis about loneliness and despair. And there are angels. No one is leftalone. Love saves.

Wars and Afterburn
THE MESSENGER, even from the 'impersonal' title choice, places the complete picture of the emotional devastation that wars create. The horrors and psychological destruction that occur on the battlefield and in the trenches awaiting encounter are only one aspect of the insanity of war. The afterburn - the effects on returning soldiers permanently damaged by the experience as well as the effects on families and loved ones who have wither been completely killed in action or simply damaged at time beyond repair - is the subject of this powerful film THE MESSENGER written (with Alessandro Camon) and directed by Oren Moverman. It follows the lives and post engagement assignments of two men fulfilling their obligations to the government by taking the roles of notifying the next of kin at the earliest possible hour after the death of a soldier is verified.The 'all business' Col. Stuart Dorsett (a powerful portrayal by Eamonn Walker) in forms the newly returned home Staff Sargeant Will Montgomery (Ben Foster, in one of his most sensitive roles of his career) that despite his physical traumas he is nursing he has been assigned a Casualty Notification Officer and will be taught the ropes by ex-alcoholic Captain Tony Stone (Woody Harelson, a finely nuanced and controlled performance). The two bond, share past experiences (Will has just been ditched by his girl Kelly - Jena Malone, etc) and begin the learning process of notifying the next of kin. What follows is the spectrum of anguish and crushing agony played by actors Steve Buscemi, Yaya DaCosta, Portia, Lisa Joyce, et al and the effect of the encounters is blisteringly brutal. The Will and Tony deliver the news to on Olivia Pitterson (Samantha Morton) whose failing marriage to her now deceased husband makes her reception of the news outlined with dignity. This incident makes a deep impression on Will and a relationship develops between these two needy people, one that is completely forbidden by military code. How Will and Tony deal with this miserable job and how it affects both of them is the run of the film.The film is tough to watch, so gut-wrenching is the subject matter, yet director Oren Moverman guides the film with restraint, ably assisted by the actors whose performances are all of outstanding quality, and this 'quiet' manner in which he unravels this story makes it just that much more tough to digest. If more people would watch this film hopefully there would be more attention paid to the madness of war. It is an important lesson, perfectly delivered. Grady Harp, May 10

fear factor
Captain Tony Stone:"Soldiers go to war and everyone waves flags and applauds. They lookat charts and study strategy and have "informed opinions". And thenthe bullets fly and soldiers die and it's such a shock. [BLEEP] that!What did they think it was gonna be like? Fear Factor?"Great acting by Ben Foster and yes, Woody Harrelson. Samantha Morton as well. Woody got lots of love but where's the recognition for Foster?Anyway, compelling drama here about two Army officers assigned the happy task of giving notification to families, or next of kin (nok), that their relative/loved one is dead. Yes it is moving. War is, you know, kind of an emotional thing. Well the the White House and media had people convinced the troops were at least going to be greeted as heroes. Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates give you their condolences.

Beautifully Written Screenplay
I absolutely loved this film. It was so well acted and written that by the half way mark I realized I was watching something extra special. Unlike most American films, the scenes depicted were so heartfelt and unpredictable, it had a foreign film quality to it.
Floated2 (29 April 2012)
Great acting but not really moving
The Messenger has some great acting performances from the main cast(Ben Foster & Woody Harrelson), that goes from very subtitle toemotional. Yet, the film didn't seem that moving to me. Even during itsfirst 40 mins when Will (Foster) and Tony (Harrelson) were giving thenotifications. The expressions from the family members felt a littleforced and over the top, specifically the first family who they givethe notification (the girlfriend and mother), and Steve Buscemi'scharacter. He just overreacted and it seemed a little humorous. Also,the film has a very slow pace and many people would consider the filmboring because of its pacing. I think it starts off pretty good (eventhough its slow), then when the love interest (Olivia) of Will comesin, the film gets rather boring and feels more awkward. I really didn'tlike her character at all, and the love chemistry didn't feel veryconvincing. I felt those scenes brought down the film. Many of thosescenes didn't have Woody Harrelson and it ended up being boring.Many scenes were pretty funny (unintentiannally?). Some for example,include: Tony falling off the canoe, the little scrap with the 3 guysby the lake, the interruption at the wedding, the gun-play goof in theparking lot, some conversations between Will and Tony, and a dinnerscene with Will, Olivia and her son. I know this film is categorized asa really emotional drama, but it really isn't (at least not to me). Itwas pretty decent but not that great. The ending also ruined it for me.I would have rated it higher, but I was disappointed by its ending- itseemed a little rushed to me.
oyason (28 April 2012)
Restrained and ambitious
THE MESSENGER is by far and away one of the best works of art thataddresses the deep tragedy behind the current U.S. war in the MiddleEast that I've seen. THE MESSENGER is an attempt by Director OrenMoverman and screen writer Alessandro Camon to place themselves betweenthe ears of two career soldiers who serve a vital place in U.S. ArmySpecial Services, Casualty Notification teams who inform the familiesof soldiers that their family member has been killed in battle. Assomeone who remembers full well the devastating feeling you got in yourinsides when you saw these teams turn up at the quarters of friends andtheir families when my own father was serving in Vietnam in the late1960s, I found the film an important effort.Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery (Ben Foster) is a Iraqi war veteranrecovering from a battlefield wound who is reassigned to a StateDepartment and United States Army Casualty Notification team, which isled by Captain Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson). Montgomery is also facingan impending breakup with his girlfriend Kelly (Jena Malone), who isplaying him off against a wealthy, established suitor. When he isassigned to Stone's team, he is at first resentful. The militarydecorum which is demanded of the Casualty Notification Team is veryexacting, with learned routines that come from a spit and polishmilitary professionalism that requires a distance that is extremelydifficult to attain. What follows is a series of well connected vignettes, in which theyounger soldier is asked to stride this nether world between thejaundiced, dry-drunk outlook of the seasoned bearer of bad news,Captain Stone. Stone is a bitter man with some frustrated ambitions ofhis own, which are revealed late in the film. Obsessed with sexualvictories and teeter tottering between professional sobriety andcomplete emotional collapse, Stone is far from a steady colleaguementor. Encounters between he and Montgomery go into emotional rollercoaster as each man learns to accept the other on his own terms whileacting out an extremely trying professional military role.In short time, Montgomery comes into contact with the widow of asoldier who sparks his interest, and becomes torn betweenprofessionalism and attraction to the young widow Olivia Pitterson(Samantha Morton). Montgomery is forced to grow into himself, despitehis outward cynicism, and in short time begins to mentor his mentor,Captain Stone. The story has an open ending, with Montgomery seeking tobe part of the life of widow Olivia as she is seeking to reestablishherself in New Orleans. No morals are offered, and this is the truestrength of the work as a whole. There isn't much humor to be foundhere, but watch for the scene where a bender fried Montgomery and Stoneattend the wedding reception of the woman who has broken Montgomery'sheart. The lampoon of upper middle class phoniness is priceless.The beauty of THE MESSENGER is that it does not fall into the usual prowar or antiwar camps that film making in an era like our own areusually so encumbered with. The film makers are ambitious andrestrained. I have no idea whether the plot line is itself "contrived"as some here have argued, which I have to say is a rather ridiculouscritique given that movies are rarely anything but "contrived", andthis is particularly true of the genre we call the war film. Some whohave written here seem to believe that the film discredits the"professionalism" of those who do the work of Stone and Montgomery, asthough "professionalism" were itself some sort of fetish that protectsone from emotional or mental illness generated by both war time traumaand the mystique of military culture. Such are the times in which welive, ideological blather is rampant.THE MESSENGER is important because, in the words of that great Vietnamwar era politician, the late President Lyndon Baines Johnson, it isart, it shows us who we are, not who we say we are, not who we think weare, but who we are as a people, and as a political culture. At variousmoments, it is clunky. But it is an early effort to give some truedefinition about what the debacle in Iraq has done to our culture, andto the people who are expected to do the dirty work of the empire's warmachine. It is a rare gem in mainstream contemporary U.S. film making.

A haunting film..
I am a huge fan of both Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster in just aboutanything they do, but they really touched me in this film. They bothhad stunning, eerie performances and the subtle tension and chemistrybetween the two of them is stunning. And Samantha Morton is fascinatingto watch (I have only just recently started seeing her films and ambecoming more and more of a fan). The story is so relevant to the worldtoday. Over 4000 Americans have had to deal with the subject that thisfilm tackles. It is a riveting film, but so very difficult to watch atthe same time. (Especially if you have or have had family in themilitary). Ben Foster's character shows spectacular examples ofhumanity when you don't expect him to. These performances stick withyou well after you leave the theater the feelings you have whilewatching this film continue to haunt you. A sobering, touching filmvery deserving of every award it has received.

Delightfully Depressing
"Where seldom is heard a discouraging word . . ." All the words in The Messenger are discouraging, a film about twosoldiers who deliver the news of deaths to next of kin. Ben Foster asStaff Sergeant Will Montgomery and Woody Harrelson as Captain TonyStone evoke the pathos and terror of the delivery, which no one couldever be prepared for or endure without pain.Just as Kathryn Bigelow's Hurt Locker reduces the horror of the IraqWar to a manageable microcosm of the horror of IUD's with her study ofa bomb squad, so too does director Oren Moverman take that war andcrystallize it in the terrifying acts of delivering and receiving theSecretary of the Army's condolences. Never is there a light momentexcept when the two soldiers get drunk and sing Home on the Range, anironic song of tranquility amidst chaos.The dramatic moments of this memorable film are many because thepremise should not be taken lightly or romanticized, like battleitself. The message of the film and its titular heroes is sodesperately depressing that only superior actors such as Foster andHarrelson could make you feel at home on this range.
Psalm 52 (27 April 2012)
The Army's casualty-notification service explored?
Top entertainment critics think "the heartache families experience ispainfully authentic" (David Germain, The Associated Press) and on wholethis film is "a sensitive and intelligently considered movie" (RexReed, The New York Observer). I must have watched another film by thesame title w/ Woody Harrelson in it. The first two notification scenes,instead of offering raw emotion, are totally under-written, over-actedphoney-baloney in which the writer/director uses the 'Messengers' ofthe film as whipping boys for all sorts of venomous, misdirectedhatred. In these two early scenes, the deceased soldier's parents (onea black woman, the other a cameo by Steve Buscemi) are monsters writtenand performed as ugly caricatures of human beings whose children wentoff to serve their country. The drama just deteriorates from there whenthe 'Messengers' are stopped by a law officer for speeding and insteadof a believable exchange between men of authority the writer/directoris content w/ an unrealistic verbal exchange that questions theintegrity behind the filmmakers.Once Samantha Morton's character enters the picture, it seemed possibleher contribution would elevate the subject matter, but instead one ofher scenes in a shopping mall is a wrong-guided attack on the brave menwho enlist to serve their country. As for Woody Harrelson's toutedperformance, it's an embarrassment! This subject matter of notifyingthe next of kin (NOK) when American solder's die in service of theircountry certainly deserves to be written and presented for nationaldiscussion, but in no way is it in any way given the reverence andrespect it rightly deserves.

It's an "Alright" movie
This review is from: The Messenger (DVD) I purchased this movie on an Amazon review. I had already seen, "Taking Chance" and that movie was incredibly touching. On the other hand "The Messenger" didn't even come close to it.
Review total: 20, showing from 1 to 20
