"The Killing of America is about the violence in American society. I wasn't sure what to expect. I hoped that it wasn't exploitative, but it turned out that it is not the case. It was said that violent crime went up since the assassinations of JFK and MLK Jr. However, if you study history, you will find out that the USA has been violent since the very beginning. Actually, the same can be said about the human race in general."

"A good documentary in terms of image style and visuals but it doesn't really go anywhere in terms of plot. Overall is just comes off as high level amateurish and feeding into the audience's desire for spectacle, violence and gore. Rating 4.7/10"
