[W]orth seeing....[A] swift, entertaining film, set during the post-9/11 run-up to the Iraq war...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 1/5 --
What could have been an important and timely film in an era of distrust in journalism is sadly wasted. The film bombards its audience with surgically rapid scenes that feed as much information as possible with no emotional pay off.

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)
For all that, Shock and Awe is a slim, at-times too-obvious portrayal of an important story, as well as the fundamental calling of journalism when it comes to holding the powerful to account.

Reiner is clearly passionate about the material, but he can't translate that to the screen.

Rating: 2/5 --
The main characters aren't really explored and the supporting cast, such as Jessica Biel, who plays Strobel's love interest, appear peripheral to the story.

Rating: 3/4 --
The story gives audiences an inside look at how journalism actually works at ground level, including the cultivation of sources, the use of "background" and off-the-record information. It has a strong feel of authenticity.
