Kill the Messenger

An eye-opening, ire-inducing, factually based, star-studded (Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia, Tim Blake Nelson, Barry Pepper, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick, Richard Schiff, and Paz Vega), 112-minute film based on Gary Stephen Webb's novel Dark Alliance and Nick Schou's novel Kill the Messenger in which California investigative reporter Gary Webb, who has a wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) and three kids (Lucas Hedges, Matthew Lintz, and Parker Douglas), writes a shocking, explosive article on the CIA's unbelievable involvement in drug trafficking in Nicaragua and in arms dealing and then finds that his newspapers editors (Oliver Platt and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) do not support him.
