The Messenger

If you are into semi-documentary war movies (or rather: Dramatisations), you might want to give this one a watch. Staged in the latter part of WW2 it follows a courier who travels between Poland and England at the risk of his own live. In following his journey we see what the war has done to the people, the atrocities committed by the occupying forces, and the spy-vs-spy games played in this very murky theather of war. The movie spends just enough time to introduce all the key players and sets the stakes, after which you get hurried along an up-and-down path where every actor absolutely exudes the gravitas of the situation. The whole thing is respectfully made, without unnessecary hero-worship but with some light on the ordinary people who did extraordinary things. Loved every minute of it!
