If you loved Trance, try Kill the Messenger

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Crime / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Trance, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kill the Messenger is

San Jose. Late summer. Typewriter keys. A lone reporter connects a few dots between Nicaragua, crack cocaine, and the US government. Soon the phone is ringing, his family is threatened, and his reputation dissolves. Paranoia's grip tightens. Cuesta's work is a solid entry in the post-All the President's Men muckraker cycle.
