Yes, I too was disappointed at the lack of detail and rigor in this film. How hard would it be to include a few seconds of FLIR showing what reflections and gunshots look like? I'm not convinced that all those flashes were gunfire either, but I /am/ persuaded that the ATF and FBI were and are lying through their teeth for other reasons.
I'm surprized they didn't spend more time on the flashes that appear before the second burst of "gunfire". These are also identified as reflections by the feds, but anyone can tell that they were flames; no expertise is necessary to identify a burst of flame when you see it, and this was a burst of flame. The fact that they still call this a reflection is an obvious lie. The fact that the feds bulldozed the scene is reprehensible, and can have no purpose other than covering up evidence. I also like to think I have some ability to judge the credibility of a witness; a large part of being a poker player is being able to tell when someone is lying. The survivors they interviewed were credible. The 911 tape is credible. The ATF and FBI testimony at the hearings was not. Kiri Jewell was not credible, and was irrelevant anyway. Senator Biden was clearly covering his ass and that of the feds and didn't give a damn about truth.
The film could have been much better, but it was good to see the principals involved talking about it firsthand anyway.
