In his first leading role, 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 (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 (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.Featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson and Morton, and a brilliant directorial debut by Moverman, THE MESSENGER brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and dignity. 521 8 Rated R. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Iraq War, 2003-2011|xVeterans|vDrama. 650 0 Veterans|zUnited States|vDrama. 650 0 War widows|zUnited States|vDrama. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vDrama. 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 700 1 Harrelson, Woody.|4act 700 1 Foster, Ben,|d1980-|4act 700 1 Morton, Samantha.|4act 700 1 Malone, Jena,|d1984-|4act 700 1 Buscemi, Steve,|d1957-|4act 700 1 Walker, Eamonn.|4act 700 1 Gordon, Mark,|d1956-|4pro 700 1 Inglee, Lawrence.|4pro 700 1 Miller, Zach.|4pro 700 1 Camon, Alessandro.|4aus 700 1 Moverman, Oren.|4aus|4drt 700 1 Bukowski, Bobby.|4cng 700 1 Hall, Alex|c(Film editor)|4flm 700 1 Larson, Nathan,|d1970-|4cmp 700 1 Beatrice, Stephen.|4prs 700 1 George, Catherine.|4cst 700 1 Bialic, Gwen.|4cst 700 1 Goldhirsh, Benjamin.|4pro 700 1 Mapp, Christopher.|4pro 700 1 Street, Matthew.|4pro 700 1 Whealy, David.|4pro 700 1 Stewart, Glenn M.|4pro 700 1 Aumuller, Steffen.|4pro 700 1 Clausen, Claus.|4pro 700 1 Zuriff, Bryan.|4pro 700 1 Redick, Shaun.|4pro 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10830043|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ osl_1035_180.jpeg
