Shock And Awe hasits share of some minor storytelling flaws - but executes a relevant reflection on the state of journalism.

Are we supposed to take this as some sort of cautionary tale about what happens when governments and journalists fail in their duty to tell the truth? I'm afraid we're long past those particular warning lights, Mr. Reiner.

The filmmaking here is so pedestrian, flat-footed and overly-obvious as to leave Shock and Awe one of those second-rate dramatic movies that make you wish that it had been a top-notch documentary instead.

Rob Reiner tells the truth of an endangered free press in a powerful and pertinent drama about journalists who just want to get it right.

If this swift, entertaining film, set during the post-9/11 run-up to the Iraq war, brashly leans left, it has history on its side as well as, it seems, the interests of our soldiers.

[A] flat-footed, exposition-laden film.

It... captures an aspect of journalism not often portrayed: the fear of being wrong when the conclusions of your reporting break from those of your competitors.

...the fire is missing and we're left wondering what happened to the impassioned director of A Few Good Men and The American President?

The problem isn't Reiner taking dramatic liberties with the facts, it's that his toolbox for doing so hasn't changed since the mid-'90s.
July 09, 2018
Whether the public wants it or not, Shock and Awe is a reminder that journalists--even cable talking heads--should always work to seek the truth.
July 11, 2018
Not a strong enough movie to truly strike at the heart of corruption.
July 13, 2018
Though at times the reporters seem too prescient, and the script suggests an exaggerated awareness of future history, this is an entertaining film about a frustrating situation.
