Reviews

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

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.

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.
