Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle (2015)
Is there an option to be tased instead of watching this?
This movie draws you in with (a) a catchy title (apparently the first one had to be re- named); and (b) a glossy movie trailer with review quotes from every reviewer you have never heard of - and then this movie goes where the easy attack on any company would go -- corporations suck -- police suck too -- non-lethal methods suck -- Benjamin Franklin is a fraud too... More regulation is always the answer...
As with any large organizations run by humans instead of machines, police and the technology they use have their limits and potential for abuse, but where is the film's final conclusion? Is the film's better idea to give police foam noodles... or really promoting an option that will remove a lifesaving tool from their arsenal?
I have to admit I didn't make it through the credits, were the trial attorneys who funded the film listed? What about the board-certified physicians who took a pass on this because of the faulty science? What about Ralph Nader?
