Synopsis "A Gorgeous Epic…Easily The Best…Since "Braveheart". - Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald The year is 1429. France is in political and religious turmoil as members of the royal family battle for rule. But one peasant girl from a remote village gave her country the miracle it was looking for. Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Dazed and Confused) is Joan of Arc, a young woman who would inspire and lead her countrymen until her execution at the age of nineteen. Raised in a religious family, Joan witnessed her sister's rape and death at the hands of an invading army. Years later, as the same war raged on, Joan stood before her king with a message she claimed came from God: give her an army, and in God's name she would reclaim his diminished kingdom. But was the message real, or the delusion of a girl whose life had been shattered? This startling epic drama by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) explores the life of Joan of Arc, her amazing victories, relationship with God, and tragic death. Co-starring John Malkovich and Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway, The Messenger is a modern take on a medieval saint who enthralls people even today.

Customer Review Great! - 4.25 out of 5  (1/12/2002) I thought this movie was very entertaining. It does have some small things pulling it down, but over all..it's very good. The cinematography and battle scenes take you breath away. This may not be one of Besson's best, but does have a strong female lead, something he likes to have in a majority of his films. There is this one review about this movie that explains Dustin Hoffman's character all wrong. In the movie he is sort of a vision of Milla Jovovitch's character. At first he does seem like S   more >> Customer Review Phenominal - 4 out of 5  (4/28/2000) Milla is spectacular....absolutley incredible.............Powerfull.....Chilling....unreal cinematography....after you see it you will know why I had to pause between reflections   more >>
