Watch Shock and Awe For Free

So much average

Fantastic!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Why all the critical hate on this film? Maybe critics just don't like it when they look in the mirror and it displays a 'subject matter' full of post 9/11 public manipulation, military intelligence lies, complicit dishonest journalism, deceitful Politicians, the ruthless ambitions by a corrupt cabal so as to force political agendas to capitalise on oil monopolisation and to justify a 'democratic crusade' into the middle east... !!?I found the Direction of the film to be solid - it is a slow burner - but it is a great depiction of the frustrations of the Knight Ridder newsagency, not being able to get a word in, about the dishonest activity of the 'W' administration (cabal) at the wheel of a government out for blood!The cast were terrific, the dialogue and script were brilliant - 'Shock and Awe' is not an action film - OK - it is more like a docu-drama - it had me on the edge of my seat, throwing pillows at the screen and screaming in frustration! If your speed fuelled mind cannot tolerate a slow docu-drama, politic filled film, with facts flying endlessly at your eyeballs and filling your mind with impulses for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ... then go watch something else like Jumanji ....Top film - Top marks! The system is Corrupt ....

I had high hopes for this one. But this turned out to be just another case of directorial activism. Skip this one.

Boring and self serving. No surprise, though. Mr. Reiner is taking his elitist privelage to preach via this soapbox.

The title is the most exciting thing about this movie. Its quite unfortunate because I like Woody... he does well but its not enough.
