One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I'm highly disappointed by the other reviews on IMDB for this movie that appear to be driven by political belief rather than objective judgement. Whether or not you disagree with the viewpoint of this movie, the story is well told and there is little distraction from the main plot.This isn't classified as action, thriller, or some other nonsense that it appears some reviewers require to not be "bored".If you want to know more about what went down between post 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq from the perspective of Knight Ridder see this movie.

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 ....

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