Caffeinated Clint Moviehole "Ambush in Waco" borderlines on being pro-"law enforcement" propaganda but for the most part it's a compelling couple of hours of Television giving you a little more insight into one of today's worst tragedies. Tim Daly (TV's Wings) is excellent as Koresh Sep 20, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Un mechant capotà (C).... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A television movie based on the true events of the Waco killings. Not bad overall. Not a big budget on the film but the acting and true story made it interesting. If you catch it on television it might be worth a watch if you like true story movies. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member [size=4]For a TV movie, this is a good one. Made during the Waco siege, we only find out the fate of the victims in writing at the end. This may or may not be a down point. This accurate account of the tragic events as well as a rather good portrayal of David Koresh by Tim Daly and a not unexciting gunfight means that this film gets a 5 out of 10, which for a TV movie is really very good. If there’s nothing else on, this is worth a look. If there’s something else on though, watch that instead. I mean it’s a TV movie for Pete’s sake.
