The Messenger

Date: February 12, 2010
Time: 5:30 and 8:15 p.m.
Place: Tower Theater
815 E. Olive Avenue


Tickets: $10 general, $8 students & seniors

February 12: The Messenger (2009) is a powerful and tender story about a returned war hero making his first steps toward a normal life. In his first leading role, Ben Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival. The film, directed by Oren Moverman, brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and dignity. In English, 115 min. Rated R.
