49 Pulses

This director has made multiple movies over shootings and every time makes it the cops fault It's unbelievable how horrible he is to the police force If you're going to do a movie based on a event. You need to show the back story , interviews with survivors and give as much information on the event You do not make it about what your Perspective is on the event This is the shooter fault. Not the police.

I honestly can't understand how this guy keeps making these movies.

Parading as a documentary is Charlie Minn's yet another way to point fingers at the police. He loves to exploit the victims and their families in effort to promote his films. What a shame.

The threat of multiple bombs being at the scene was clearly a factor in how police MUST respond.

Bottom line, it is the gun man who was responsible for all the deaths.

It was heartbreaking to hear the young lady say that she told rescuers to take her friend instead of taking her for treatment. Emotional trauma always plays a role in what one may remember as reality.

God bless all the victims, their families, rescue workers and police, for this incident has truly changed their lives forever. And God help Charlie Minn to stop making money off of other people's tragedies.

I want to believe that Minn's heart is in the right place, but with this more than any of his other documentaries I've seen, I really don't know.

This one went through the motions and just felt a bit off, even if it does, in a sense, provide a platform for survivors of the shooting to tell their story and pay tribute to those who were killed.

But I've seen numerous films by Minn now where he takes a similar approach to covering various tragedies shortly after they happen, and while the intentions are hopefully good, there's just something under the surface that feels a bit off, and there's a chance (cynical as it may be to think so) that he's not making these for the right reasons.

A middle of the road rating might be the best way to represent how it could go either way, for me (of course the by the numbers presentation and editing does few favours for its overall rating, too)

Charlie Minn's documentaries are pretty good up until the half way point. That's when he starts to blame police instead of the person that committed the crime. It's apparently his formula for documentaries.

1 - show details of tragedy 2 - talk about the victims (bravo by the way) 3 - start blaming and questioning police.

I think for the next horrific event we get Charlie Minn strapped up to go in immediately because he apparently knows best how to deal with these psychopaths.

Some reviewers are upset because survivors were upset about how long it took police to save the remaining victims however it's still an important documentary to watch. Never blame the victims for their feelings and most importantly it helps law enforcement with future training. I am happy that I watched this powerful documentary despite its monstrous tragedy.
