杀死信使

我最担心的是它会像《第五阶层》一样重演。那部电影有一些出色的表演，但它缺乏重点和方向，令人叫绝“为电视制作”。《Kill the Messenger》的前4分钟也存在同样的问题。影片的片名很明显，音乐就像Lifetime电影里的电影，但随后的方向变得微妙而轻快。影片的节奏在20分钟左右开始加快，变得有力起来，剧本出人意料地客观，几乎没有诋毁或神化加里·韦伯。他们在电影中说，真相不是非黑即白的问题，他们实际上坚持那个学派的思想。只有最后的十分钟左右才决定了韦伯是一个了不起的人。并不是说这样说一定是件坏事，但声音的突然变化有点明显。然而，他的表演从头到尾都很扎实。杰瑞米·雷纳是了不起的，被赋予的任务比他在漫威电影中的任何工作都要多得多。 It's not like I would say his performance is on the level of Philip Seymour Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man earlier this year (their subject matters and characters are somewhat similar, allowing comparisons), but I hope that he follows through with more roles like this in the future. And regarding the rest of the cast, I'm surprisingly that even they're good. Even the teenage son is good, and the father-son relationship doesn't seem contrived. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is great as always. Despite the film's occasionally inconsistent narrative, this is surprisingly good. It seems to be elevated a fair amount by its cast, but the direction is far above something like The Fifth Estate. There are some bits shown in the film that don't seem to do much and the final minute seems to rely on text screens and archival footage to wrap up plot points, but I still found myself invested. 7.5/10, good, one thumb up, above average, etc.
