Summary of Chris Rock - Kill the Messenger
Four years after 2004's NEVER SCARED, Chris Rock returns with another hilarious standup performance in KILL THE MESSENGER. Intercutting between performances held in South Africa, London, and New York City, the program finds Rock riffing on the upcoming 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama, and (as always) the troubles between men and women. It's fascinating to watch how Rock improvises with each crowd, and their differing reactions. Thankfully, the effect never becomes tiresome or overdone, and as always it's Rock's passionate delivery, razor-sharp timing, and fearless take on life that take center stage.
