No shock, no awe


Shock and Awe (2017)

Directed by star Rob Reiner this film also features Woody Harrelson, James Marseden and Tommy Lee Jones. Journalists at Knight Ridder investigate the Bush administration as it puts together a case for war in Iraq.

Despite having the talent of Rob Reiner at the helm this film falls far short of standards set by a film like All the Presidents Men (1976). Too short and too superficial this film fails to get across it's important subject matter in a compelling way. Unfortunately it is hard to recommend this film on any point.

2/5
