Shoot the Messenger Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
Joe's downward spiral (portrayed with tremendous verve by Oyelowo) is mesmerizing.
Shadow and Act
Emmanuel Akitobi
I will admit that, at times, Shoot the Messenger is not the most comfortable of viewing experiences; but only because some the negative aspects of the film are so familiar and believable.
