Memorable, crazy movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This movie reminds me of if someone had made one about a tobacco company at the time they were still denying a link between smoking and related diseases. The legal-speak used by the company executives comes across as insincere and duplicitous.It seems like a fairly honestly made film. Focusing on something proposed as a non lethal solution, that turns out not be. That said, the overriding issue that seems to be highlighted by the film is that they can cause death - and that they are overused. Most instances where there was a fatality, it was where the cops used it to subdue someone, not to disarm or avoid an extremely violent / homicidal individual.So I can't help feel that the investigation should have concentrated on the people using them, and why they did in seemingly the wrong circumstances.

This is an examination in to the safety of tasers. The film examines the creation of the weapon and it's use by law enforcement. The film looks at several cases of death and injury as a result of their use.For the most part this is everything you want to know about tasers. It goes into every thing you could ever want to know about the weapon, then men who created it and the company that manufactures it. The film also questions whether Taser's are safe to use......the problem is that if you watch the film and listen to what it's saying all the questioning about the safety is wrecked when you realize that all of the deaths and the result of misuse-the injured and killed were either tased repeatedly or for tased for much longer than is recommended. I don't know about you but I can't really question the safety of something if it's being misused.I saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015 and you could feel the air go out of the audience when everyone realized the film was essentially cutting it's own throat.Worth a look, but take what it's saying with a grain of salt.

Killing Them Safely is an eye opening, moving, detailed, bold documentary. Some of the footage is so shocking that you will want to shout at the screen.Before seeing Killing Them Safely, I knew almost nothing about tasers and Taser International. It's not black and white and it's not simple. While this film is incredibly focused on it's subject, it's not just about use of force and the police. It explores family and business, human nature and authority.The filmmakers crafted Killing Them Safely into not just a movie about young entrepreneurs, but a movie with complicated life or death stakes.I've seen this film twice now and would recommend it to anyone.

Killing them safely is a brilliantly made movie that captivates the audience. The storyline is riveting, as it takes you through an incredible story. The movie does a great job of digging deep and looking at a bigger picture. Tying all of the recent incidents with TASERS, and tying it back to the founders was brilliant. The interviews in the movie were excellent, and they did a great job of getting great footage. It's not easy to get this type of content for a movie, but this movie does just that. They were able to ask the tough questions to the people at TASER, and in return got great content. Overall, as a non-fiction movie, Killing Them Safely has the intensity and intrigue of a great fiction classic. You are engaged throughout the entire movie, and can't wait to see what is uncovered next. Nick Berardini directed a true masterpiece, and I am excited to see what else he is able to come up with in the future. Definitely a bright future ahead.
