I watched this because of RLM's Best of the Worst episode where they watched 2nd Chance vs. Magnum Force which proved that Richard was a compelling character. This documentary has many compelling characters, and expertly covered a complex topic. It gives me hope for humanity that men like Aaron are out there, willing to do the right thing, even when the personal cost is enormous. This is not a documentary about bullet proof vests, it's about the people who wear them, and the lives that they affect in far reaching ways. I would like to know Richard's thoughts after watching this film, although I'm afraid I can guess what they would be.

A guy gets pissed on, then pisses his own bed in a drunken stupor. Is that the joke? This is a stinker. By the numbers plotting, obvious direction, piss poor characterization (see what I did there?), all at a glacial pace. The real tragedy is that I wasted 2 boring hours. Was I supposed to be wasted when I watched this? Perhaps that accounts for all the positive reviews I'm seeing. I gave it a bonus star for perfectly simulating the pain of being designated driver in a room full of drunks.
