Plot

This is a documentary about tasers and the good and bad regarding them. Are they really as safe as they claim to be? Is there a better way for police to deal with the public without using a gun or a taser?

Rating Criteria

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.

1/5 – Barely worth any time.

2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.

3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.

4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.

5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.

4/5 - This documentary was a very good look into Tasers. The Taser company really did not seem to want to admit their faults about covering up data or misinforming the public and police about the risks of cardiac fibrillation / metabolic acidosis, etc. When confronted, Taser tried to say that every case of Taser incidences that resulted in death was not due to the Taser but would have been caused by something else, though exposure to high voltages for a long period of time could disrupt the heart from the normal rhythm and therefore cause death (even a doctor told them this after studying pigs and they still denied that it would affect humans this way!). Taser, in my honest opinion, is a corrupt company that thinks they are doing the best, that they are not at fault, and will continue [at least as of the time of the documentary] to be corrupt as they look for their best interest. Yes, I agree that Tasers (used properly by a trained person, especially in the case of police incidences] can be better than fatally shooting a human with a gun but that doesn't mean that they are completely faultless.

Anyways, that's my review! Thanks for reading! More are on their way eventually.
