Negative Positive
Title: Lack of balance leads to lack of credibility.
Review: In short, the film does a fairly good job of getting the message across as it should do in making people aware of the high crime rate in the USA and the fact that this is in great part due to all the weapons that are out there. At the same time, however, it does not provide a balanced examination, which only weakens the very effect it is trying to create.Lying about being a member of the NRA to get an appointment in order to play "tricks" on Charlton Heston in an attempt to humiliate one of America's best actors is neither witty nor wise when trying to carry out a "noble cause".A more balanced and objective approach with less bias and closed mindedness would have made the film more effective and therefore, more successful. The ultimate goal is good, but the method used is not necessarily the correct one.
