The Bad Guy

About This Movie

The Bad Guy dives deep into the grim reality of the gun epidemic in the USA, and you can feel the weight of the subject matter right from the start.

The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the uncomfortable truths it presents. You get a real sense of the tension in schools and communities as they grapple with active shooter drills and the idea of arming teachers. The interviews are raw; some performances are chilling, especially from those directly affected. It’s a documentary that doesn’t shy away from the harsh aspects of American culture, making it distinctive in how it confronts such a pressing issue.
