Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Noel MurrayAs always with Greenwald, it’s refreshing that he doesn’t simply indulge in fear-mongering. He has the resources and the research team to sort through lots of data, culling the relevant points and encouraging action.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Ken JaworowskiMaking a Killing generates a disgust that can’t be shaken.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Renee SchonfeldDocu advocates for gun control; tragedy, violence, grief.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckIts blizzard of statistics notwithstanding, the film consists mostly of true-life stories that, while undeniably tragic, stir up more emotion than thought.
Variety - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanThe trouble isn’t that Greenwald is preaching to the choir; a good documentary can increase the passion of the choir. It’s that he isn’t adding in any meaningful way to the choir’s knowledge.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Daphne HowlandMaking a Killing feels oddly static, like any fact-dense sermon to the choir.
User Review - 10/10 by Frances HA documentary every person in the United States should have to see.
User Review - 8/10 by Anthony BSadly, we've become numbed to the mass killings inflicted by gunmen in our country. (I was one of three audience members on opening day.) We've also become numbed to the way the subject is reported. TV news anchors reporting from the scene. What for? To show networks care? Or to boost ad revenue? We've also become numbed by the way anti-gun advocates like Robert Greenwald, director of Making A Killing: Guns, Greed and the N.R.A. handle the subject. Interviews with white, middle class family members of a shooting victim. Sanitized shots of crime scenes, minus the body parts and mangled bodies. Statistics superimposed on the screen, stats that in anywhere but the US would be considered a national disgrace. In numbed-out America we're at the point where the only way to get people's attention is to show raw footage of the irreversible damage bullets cause.
User Review - 4/10 by Torion OLike all good causes there's the inevitable step overboard that dilutes the message. This movie is 75% that step, the other 25% reasonable discourse. Most of that 25% is spent on irrelevancies in victims' personal lives. The problem with the movie is, it's a mix between a drama and a documentary. It could've been one or the other and the message would've been better conveyed, though the random statistics appearing in trendy font throughout the movie confuses the moments with the drama, and vice versa. The combination gives the impression the creators were trying too hard and it shows with the rushed stats having to be tacked on to the random stories. The stats aren't even explained, no logistics or correlational studies, no nothing that can substantiate the WHY the statistics are important. The stats shown are also primarily about the income of big gun sellers, the NRA, and NRA members, which aren't at all relevant to how people die because of guns. It gives the impression that the creators are wanting to trick audience members into thinking that they are all conspiring with each other by paying each other and supporting each other, as if that's a bad thing. The NRA in general is painted as this evil organization, and yet there was literally no reason why they were bad except that the movie said they were so then they must be bad. Anyway, the primary legislation that this movie didn't and should've focused on are background checks and purchasing limits.
User Review - 2/10 by Kenneth LAn overwhelming one sided look at gun violence. Set to villify the NRA and gun companies that employ hundreds of thousands of people of the USA. In the previous eight years the media has always brought news of gun violence because the news media in general much like whoever put this film together is biased. There are a lot of facts and numbers thrown out but many are hollow or misleading. Gun safety and locks around children was probably the most important point put forward. Pretty much everything else was window dressing saying, "Guns are bad." While the events they highlight are unfortunate the rest is just liberal propaganda.
