Kill the Messenger gets a Release date!

   Focus features has announced that Kill the Messenger is to be released at limited theaters on Oct. 10th 2014 and in the following 2 weeks expand from there. 
"Kill the Messenger is based on the True story of Journalist Gary Webb. The film takes place in the mid 1990s, when Webb uncovered the CIA's past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the U.S. that was aggressively sold in ghettos across the Country to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras rebel army. Despite enormous pressure not to, Webb chose to pursue the story and went public with his evidence, publishing the series "Dark Alliance". As a result he experienced a vicious smear campaign fueled by the CIA. At that point Webb found himself defending his integrity, his family, and his life."
   This sounds amazing...and the fact that its based on a true story only adds to it. A movie about government secrets, death threats, drugs, and armed rebels? Count me in!! I love the sounds of this and the fact that Jeremy Renner is staring and getting into more dramatic roles is great, I love him in the Marvel universe but I was getting tired of seeing him in action roles so happy to see him in a more drama driven film.
