Shock and Awe
Description
The film is based on the true events of Knight Ridder journalists who were the only ones who 'got it right' in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War when they questioned the true nature of the Bush White House's justification for the conflict.

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.

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.

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

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.

Not a strong enough movie to truly strike at the heart of corruption.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
