KILL THE MESSENGER - a film starring JEREMY RENNER. The story of American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb who told the truth and in cost his life. He was found dead- the official (known) cause of his death was suicide- according to the police he killed himself. The movie is Rated R, for language and drug content. I loved this compelling suspenseful political drama based on the true story of  journalist (writer) Gary Webb. he was a hard-charging investigative reporter (played by Renner). He stumbles (finds it by luck) upon a story of a lifetime when he uncovers (finds, discovers) a link (connection) between US government intelligence (spies) agencies and Central American drug smugglers.
