Time
A lively, nutty film, one full of clumsy, clanging battles filmed by the gifted, eccentric Besson with bloody brio. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Blends great cinematic energy with an awkwardly mixed multinational cast and aggressively over-modernized dialogue. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
You might be occasionally dumbfounded by The Messenger, but you won't be bored. - 60
Washington Post
Never was the case for psychotropic medication more acute than in Jovovich's performance. - 60
Chicago Reader
Luc Besson--and Andrew Birkin wrote the pandering, adolescent screenplay for this pseudosubversive hagiography, and nearly every scene screams out its sensationalist intent, though few actually achieve the status of spectacle. - 50
New York Post
Besson is unable to weave the comic scenes together with the serious gory ones, so both seem increasingly jarring and unbelievable. - 50
USA Today
Has a three-way split personality, which happily includes an action-packed middle to ease the pain of its early protracted exposition and later action so slow that you'll be asking "Gotta match?" to the person next to you. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Besson's account of the Maid of Orleans presents itself as a celebration of a martyr's faith but shows more interest in the violence and hatred that surrounded her life.
