The guys who did this movie did a miniseries about the Waco standoff between the FBI and David Koresh. It’s well made and Taylor Kitsch is absolutely fascinating as Koresh. But because of the source material – a book written by a follower of David Koresh and another book written by the FBI negotiator whose efforts failed – it’s a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened. The follower of Koresh has a vested interest in whitewashing what the cult actually did, and the former FBI negotiator seems intent on blaming his failure on his superiors.
It’s good storytelling, and a really compelling watch, but a disservice to the people who died at Waco and the people who tried to keep them from dying.
I do like the Dowdle’s zombie infection in an airport movie, Quarantine 2, and their “people trapped in an elevator” horror movie, Devil. Too bad they ended up doing found footage in a bunch of dark tunnels.
