John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Effective despite some storytelling flaws, the documentary is nonetheless unlikely to draw too much attention on the national stage, with fresher outrages never hard to come by. Dec 1, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times A documentary profile that blows the whistle on a disturbing pattern of excessive force and corruption within its ranks. Nov 30, 2017 Full Review Daphne Howland Village Voice The problems Denison uncovers serve as a warning to all Americans. Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed As the film pretty much only has one side of the coin as mentioned earlier, it feels a bit stacked onto one side, but is it the right side to be on? Each viewer can watch it and decide for themselves here. Rated: 3/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I'm an independent journalist currently investigating the horrific attack that took place in Las Vegas and was very surprised how the filmmaker described what took place. This film was mostly about police brutality and corruption in the city of Las Vegas but the last 10 minutes or so describes speculations about this attack and especially why this guy did what he did. When I watched this film for the first time about a year ago, I was very stunned especially at the speculation of a lawyer who said he represented Mr. Paddock's family that this man orchestrated this attack because he was a high level player and wanted to get so called "revenge" on the casino industry. I highly recommended this for anyone who is investigating this horrific attack. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastically amazing assessment of the corrupt Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member What's most impressive about this DOCUMENTARY was howDenison used his own experience with the LVMPD as a jumping off point into the systemic problems in the department. Problems that aren't just about vegas cops killing non-threatening people like Trevon Cole, Erik Scott, Stanley Gibson and Tashii Farmer-Brown, but how it spread throughout the department, infecting both the response to the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival shooting and the subsequent attempt to cover up the department's failure to act. revise the film by incorporating the tragic events of Oct. 1 in a bid to further level accusations of systematic cover-ups against Lombardo ultimately prove less effective.
