Such a frustrating disappointment

Overrated and overhyped

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Of the plot to steer the public into a catastrophic war. A must see homage to to All The President's Men.

Anytime a Movie is used for a political agenda, it removes itself from the realm of True Art, and becomes a Lifeless piece of Boring Propaganda...Sad to see how far some in Hollywood have fallen...

Although this movie is not good by any stretch, Shock and Awe is a timely reminder that journalists should be skeptical, independent thinkers, and avoid the common group-think mentality that they are prone to becoming part of.Instead of focusing on the failings or outright lies of "the intelligence community" in the lead-up to the Iraq war, the director instead seemed more intent on creating a love letter to the journalism industry (which also failed us at the time, and continues to repeat the same mistakes to this day).There are no winners here. The intelligence community lied (or was simply wrong, if you want to be generous). Journalists, for the most part, unquestioningly repeated those lies, leading to a long and senseless war which continues to claim the lives of veterans due to suicide. And we, the viewers, are left with a mess of a movie that fails to address these key issues with any real depth.I feel like a better director, and one who is not so emotionally invested in current politics, would have done a better job with this very important topic.

According to Osama Bin Laden's Video Tapes as broadcasted by Arabic Al Jezzera Television, the Reason for the 9/11 2001 Attacks wereDemocrat President Clinton's attacking the Muslim Nation of Iraq, since 1993 with U.S. Airstrikes and U.S. Cruise Missile Attacks, as to why he, Osama Bin Laden did the 1993 First World Trade Center Attack.Regardless of warnings from Osama Bin Laden to stop attacking the Muslim Nation of Iraq, Democrat President Clinton continued with 1996 U.S. Military Operation Desert Strike.Still not listening Democrat President Clinton Declared War Against U.S. Ally Iraq 1998 Justification Weapons of Mass Destruction. So Osama Bin Laden attacked the U.S. Embassy Narobi Kenya 1998, and the U.S.S. Cole at Yemen 2000. Democrat President Clinton still did not listen and sent more U.S. Airstrikes and U.S. Cruise Missile Attacks as 1998 U.S. Military Operation Desert Fox, this time also including Afghanistan, so Osama Bin Laden did the 9/11 2001 Attacks.
