Casualmente, Webb descobre uma história que o leva a investigar as origens sombrias da epidemia de crack que assolou as ruas do país e dos homens por detrás dela... e à descoberta do envolvimento da CIA no contrabando de cocaína para os EUA, usando os lucros para armar os rebeldes na Nicarágua. Apesar das advertências dos grandes traficantes e dos agentes da CIA para suspender a investigação, Webb continua irredutível e expõe uma conspiração com implicações explosivas. Esta jornada leva-o das prisões da Califórnia às aldeias da Nicarágua, até aos corredores do poder em Washington, DC – atraindo um tipo de atenção que ameaça não só a sua carreira, mas a sua família e a própria vida.

Feeble directing spoils an interesting plot, it’s like Cuesta is just shooting another episode of Homeland, but the Messenger has definitely a lot to say. It slightly touched on almost the same problem as my bachelor’s thesis. It touched on almost the same problem as my bachelor’s thesis, Webb basically warned the CIA of the danger of the Internet as a means for spreading unpleasant information, but those who don’t know anything about this will be gobsmacked. Or fall asleep. Nicaragua was pretty filthy mess and terrorists wearing stars and stripes are something the world has got used to. A great film and Renner was excellent.

This story is interesting in itself. The effort of a person to fight for the truth, while realizing that it is really like fighting against windmills and it can have very tragic consequences. If only the delivery wasn't so dreadfully boring and if Jeremy Renner didn't try so hard. His character becomes annoying and the essence of the story fades away.
