Yes, this movie might be in bad taste of how fast it came out and whatnot but the bottom line is, Tim Daly played a great role! It's a good watch! I hadn't seen this in years and i was glad I found it and purchased here! Enjoy!

All this movie was was more propaganda to try and demonize David Koresh and the Branch Davidians and make our government look like the "good guys." The ATF wasn't the "good guys" in this situation. If you think they were, ask Robert Gonzalez. He himself was an ATF agent that was sent to infiltrate the group... He doesn't condone the raid or the way the raid was conducted. This movie could have been produced by the government itself and it couldn't have cast them in a better light. Complete an utter propaganda.
Tim Daly was a wonderful David Koresh March 19, 2006

I was a Senior when this happened.I was doing a project for school,while watching this show. I loved the songs,Oasis,and Rise,Rise,Rise. Those are the only religious songs I like. If the Cops didn't punish him,God himself punished David Koresh that April 19,1993.He's not in heaven with his followers.He molested those kids and the mothers.He was mean mean to kids. He embarassed Women in front of everyone by pulling up their skirt. God[hopefully] saw that. Even Jesus Christ wouldn't do that,even I'm not a fan of the guy.He's ugly He didn't give me cleverness.
Even the screenwriter disowned this film November 4, 2005

This made-for-TV film was quickly put together to exploit the deaths of so many ATF agents and Davidian men, women and children, barely after the smoke had cleared in Waco. Years later, the screenwriter who wrote this film, Phil Penningroth--much to his credit--confessed that he had been pressured by television executives to forget about researching the facts, and to instead use the film as a forum for promoting the government's spin on events at Waco. Do a google search for Penningroth's article, "Righting Waco", and you'll soon learn, as he eventually did, that this film was an utter sham from the beginning, and never even sought the truth. But such is the awesome power of propaganda in a nation of corporate-dominated media: when even the people who write the stories we're told don't know they are lying, how are the masses supposed to know?
When the Davidian "compound" burned on April 19, 1993, I was horrified by the carnage, but felt like so many others that the Davidians had brought it on themselves, and the ATF/FBI had done the best they could. After all, that is what this film portrays. But after researching the matter for myself, traveling to the site, speaking with survivors, and kneeling at the tiny plaque which marked the location of the concrete room that became the oven that burned so many women and children alive, I will live the shame of my former beliefs for the rest of my life. The U.S. government killed those people, used the enormous power of the mass media to lie about it, and we all believed them.
Watch "Waco: Rules of Engagement" instead. Or better yet, travel to the site yourself and stand where those flames once reached into the sky. Then you'll understand what really happened. This film is classic only in the sense of its value as a powerful propaganda piece that diverted an entire nation's attention away from the rogue power of its own government--an atrocity that Timothy McVeigh attempted to avenge with yet another senseless tragedy in Oklahoma City. But that's another story....
