Dsis1 06/26/2021 While they covered some interesting material, it was a bit of an in cohesive mess. It seemed that they were trying so hard to make an "artistic film" that they sacrificed actually going anywhere. We almost left during it a few times, but kept hoping it was going to come to some real point or conclusions. Other than esoteric statements, it never did.

Seems like more was planned or should have been included, but they spent their budget on filming a couple of things, and didn't have enough left to film or research anything else. Interesting topics and historical events are introduced, then dropped and we go back to the two central parts which are following a salesman around his company, and a police training session where 15 minutes of this film are devoted to officers being shown how to turn a camera on and off. Needed research, ideas, and something to say about the topics chosen. 20% of this is interesting, the rest is not.

The presentation is slick and smooth, allowing the audience to easily comprehend the numerous concepts and explorations that the director tackles. The score by Dan Deacon is amazing and adds to the artful nature of the documentary. See more 12/22/2021 Interesting aspects, but very disjointed. Written "narration" portions were odd and poorly done. Too much time on axon body cams. Other portions poorly edited which wasted lots of time. Overall, probably not worth it and can get better evaluation of these topics in 15min on a show like 60 minutes, instead of 2 hours spent on this documentary….

Anthony takes a both sides approach, but too many subplots confuse the story. When the film is focused on how the cameras effect police officers and the people whom the police interact it's best. Then in the epilogue the filmmaker shows scenes that were cut and says this was a big part of the film until it wasn't. Yikes. Anthony the director needs to fire Anthony the editor and go back and take another pass at his footage with somebody else! Final Score: 4/10 See more jim e @RT62503242 09/27/2021 This so called film is an insult! Not much more than a promotional ad for Axon (former Taser company)! Rotten Tomatoes critics should be ashamed of themselves for pumping this garbage with good reviews like they have been with others since covid, trying to get more viewers out to the movies in my humble opinion!
