There are statistics in the movie regarding violence in the USA v Canada that are manipulative. Not so much about Columbine as about the gun violence and murder in America. The title refers to first prize of a firearm in a bowling tournament. It's about the fascination with guns that Americans seem to have. Please note that, in Canada, sidearms and pistols are generally not legal for the civilian population. It should be shown to bullied youth who may have the fantasy of wiping out their bullies. No one has even gotten away with it. The perpetrators usually end up dead or jailed for life. Many low ratings for this film, probably from gun enthusiasts or NRA members? Watch it yourself and draw your own conclusions. It perhaps sacrifices total accuracy for entertainment value.
