THE MESSENGER is an entirely boring indie production from Britain, telling the story of a down-on-his-luck guy who has the ability to see ghosts. Don't go in expecting some kind of supernatural extravaganza, though, because this is one of those low key movies that goes for grimy realism over anything more cinematic. The film is drawn out to the extreme and entirely boring, too; one scene has the protagonist standing on the same spot for ten minutes reminiscing, and I was struggling not to fall asleep from the boredom. Robert Sheehan delivers a one-note performance as boring as the script, and giving non-performers like Lily Cole major roles was a massive mistake too.
