Shock and Awe

It’s a really good movie, well done!

Is it as good as Spotlight? no.

Maybe as good as Truth? definitely.

Definitely  seeing a small push in movies to showcase real life stories and the people who wrote them. A hand full of movies lately which talk about journalist who went after the story to find the truth not matter what the cost. A lot of people did not like them for it and it almost cost them their careers because they went after people way too high on the food chain, but as it seems in the film, they would loose their careers if they did not tell the truth.

That pretty much sums up the plot of Shock and Awe which has all this in the cup on top of the flavor of two reporters trying to track down the Weapons of Mass Destruction post 9/11 and discover someone is lying about this.

Almost sounds like the plot for Green Zone , but this movie is better.

Rob Reiner, both directs and acts in a movie that’s just the right part of dramatic and the right touch of humor.
