Filmmaker Marc Silver uses the shooting death of black teenager Jordan Davis to examine Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law.

Critics Consensus

3 And 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets tells a gut-wrenching story in overall gripping fashion -- and wisely underplays its outrage, letting the details speak for themselves.

The film finds its biggest strengths in the quiet moments with Davis's parents as they attempt to move through the grief of losing their only child.

A-

While "Justice for Jordan" may have been served, the words - and Davis' story - are yet another reminder of a nation that remains fractured by inequality, desperately in need of change.

B+

While the documentary itself merely gives the audience a bird's eye view of the courtroom narrative, it punctuates the point that is too often forgotten in these cases: It is Dunn who is on trial here, not Davis.

4/5

There are no winners here, only losers, and by the end, everyone has lost far too much.

B-plus

Marc Silver's tautly edited film, as well as being a compelling real-life courtroom drama, offers some clarity about race and injustice in the pre-Trump era.

7.5/10

The nature of the injustice and the psychologies of his subjects are more than interesting enough to carry us through a full-length feature, and in recognizing that, he shows restraint.

Michael Dunn committed perjury. So glad he's rotting in prison. BAN GUNS. How many more children need to die to protect the right for any moron to own and carry a gun! And no fuxking civilian should carry guns that can kill MULTIPLE people in minutes. It's disgusting. They are human killing machines not 18th century muskets that take time to reload and aren't super accurate. NOT THE SAME. GUNS CHANGE, SO SHOULD LAWS.
