Time -
A lively, nutty film, one full of clumsy, clanging battles filmed by the gifted, eccentric Besson with bloody brio.

|
Los Angeles Times -
Blends great cinematic energy with an awkwardly mixed multinational cast and aggressively over-modernized dialogue.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
You might be occasionally dumbfounded by The Messenger, but you won't be bored.

Washington Post -
Never was the case for psychotropic medication more acute than in Jovovich's performance.

Chicago Reader -
Luc Besson--and Andrew Birkin wrote the pandering, adolescent screenplay for this pseudosubversive hagiography, and nearly every scene screams out its sensationalist intent, though few actually achieve the status of spectacle.
