Page reads like an ad for the film[edit]
This kind of subjective spin is simply out place in an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.131.225 (talk) 18:46, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
You need to say what specifically is rubbing you the wrong way. Is it the use of the adjective "fateful?" Does it make the film sound unjustifiably good? This brief, perfunctory article has no "spin" that I can discern, and the motive of someone who doesn't even sign remarks like yours is in question. Bustter (talk) 00:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Inspired by "true events" ?[edit]
This claim is often made by film makers and most of the time is found to be false...let's see some evidence to back this claim up or have it removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.183.214 (talk) 15:25, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Agreed. I'm changing it to, "an opening credit claims "inspired by true events," then I'll see if I can dig something up. Bustter (talk) 22:32, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
It is a legit claim, see: http://www.stltoday.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/minutes-depicts-crime-on-st-louis-students/article_926b0c80-9e20-541b-ad06-19506c2f5f59.html

Circumstantial evidence indicates that the film fictionalized the murder of Melissa Aptman by Andre Bond, but I can't find a reliable source overtly stating this. Bustter (talk) 23:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
