The Messenger

*** - His highness of the hookah Woody Harrelson and some other guy who I think I’ve seen in something before but can’t be sure are the leads in this average film about army guys who go around informing next of kin that a relative has died in the line of duty (or, more likely, was accidentally shot in the face by his bunkmate when he was mistaken for an actual dragon while playing a drunken game of ‘Dungeons & Dragons’). I’m not really all that fond of this type of movie that goes overboard with girly emotional crap and unending streams of scenes featuring family members bawling over lost loved ones, but this movie had some decent moments and enough solid performances to keep me fairly interested. I never get tired of seeing ole Woody stumble around drunkenly.
