“Shock And Awe” (*** out of four) was a perceptive and pervasive melodrama about the 2003 invasion of Iraq and how a group of journalists (James Marsden, Woody Harrelson, and others) were skeptical of President Bush’s claims of Hussein’s having weapons of mass destruction and how this resulted in their investigation and uncovery of a presidential and national coverup. Director Rob Reiner throws you right into the mix of the nonstop and frenetic bustle of journalism and poiitical uncovery that recalls “All The President’s Men” and even references that film on a few occasions. Reiner’s film can’t rise to that film’s admittedly high standing but it’s still one of Reiner’s most passionate works in years and Marsden and Harrelson make a very good team.
