What Happened in Vegas (2017) User Reviews

Police Brutality in Las Vegas

[dchandia481-622-22527 · 7/10 · 23 December 2019]

The film is more about the LVMPD than it is about the October 1 shooting. The filmmaker was assaulted by officers after calling 911 to report police brutality as it was happening. This is covered at the beginning of the film. From there, he addresses the need for reform and transparency within the LVMPD, and lets the victims of officer-involved shootings have their voices heard. As with any documentary, it is the viewer's responsibility to be discerning with the information they are given. In my opinion, he makes a compelling argument.

What They Don't Want You to Believe

I am privately investigating the Las Vegas shooting and when I saw this movie, I was startled by the way the filmmakers portray the attack. The film is mostly about police brutality and the way that the police there treat citizens. Towards the end, they talk about the night of October 1st and how local authorities have basically refuse to release any information about what exactly went down and why Stephen Paddock (the gunman) did what he did. There are questions like "Why did the hotel use a secret line instead of contacting the regular 911??" and "Why did the police keep changing the timeline??' etc. To those who are currently investigating this horrific act and the supposed "cover up", I highly recommend this film.

All these negative reviews are probably from cops

I thought it was a well set out story from many sources telling what needs to be told in communities all around America and Canada. I don't know why so many people find it shocking that there are police abuses. There are police abuses constantly. And I really appreciated the conversation about how cops should encourage recording, it's for their own safety as much as others. If you don't want a recording, you might be doing something wrong. There is clearly an issue with policing in North America, and this is a good telling of stories on some of the victims. If you are a bad cop, you won't like this. If you believe in accountability, then you will appreciate it.

I think the ratings on this site really speak volumes about the commenter.

Not really about the shooting.

The last 10 minutes of this movie scratch the surface of the horrific shooting and hit a couple of inconsistencies that _may_ have relevance but are not covered in detail.

The movie isn't bad - it covers a couple of very intriguing examples of police brutality and cover-ups. It also has a couple examples that are weaker and leave our key pieces of evidence that were obtained one the first page of a Google search.

It just has nothing to do with the shooting. Seems clear this was a piece designed to cover an election campaign and when that failed it was re-branded to get views. None of the valid points raised in the first hour and 40 minutes of this movie have anything to do with the massacre they put on the cover.

Poor Quality Attempted Hit Piece

If you lack the ability to think critically you may be able to enjoy this, but it is a biased and one sided narrative. The people involved in producing this probably don't even believe a lot of the content, and are satisfied to try to profit from multiple tragedies. If they do believe their story and the conclusions it naturally attempts to validate then they should consider getting tinfoil hats.

Just a conspiracy theorist looking for a buck.

[craig-75331 · 2/10 · 4 April 2018]

Within the first minute of this film, the director points out how Sheriff Lombardo "lied" about the timeline of events of the Vegas shooting. In case you aren't aware, things change during the course of an investigation. Stories will change and timelines will change. The Sheriff was simply laying out the facts that he was given. Enough with the bs and let the families heal.

Even more artful BS than Jussie Smollett

[random-70778 · 18 November 2019]

Lots of disproven conspiracy theory falsehoods on the level of Jussie Smollett's fiction, and the rest is one sided edited nonsense.

Waste of time

[dilateyourmind · 1/10 · 29 April 2020]

One sided conspiracy laden snoozefest. I feel like I need to make a documentary now on being subjected to this film.

This is more option based than anything else.

[eltonrosas · 1/10 · 9 December 2019]

I'm sorry but this thing is a joke and you can tell these guys have a biased. All things happened but not in the way they describe them. They have committed lenses while giving their opinion, not fact based.

Because you try and trick the public I give it a 1 star
