Taking inspiration from television, we decided to try to explain some methods used in forensic science.
“Two and a half minutes?” people exclaim. “You can’t do anything in two and a half minutes!”
I beg to differ. As, I’m guessing would this group. Polymerase Chain Reaction, a quick explanation of DNA profiling, and the funniest chalked outline I’ve seen since Police Squad! (which nobody else will remember, but hey…): there’s a lot in this film. Its greatest achievement, however, is that it doesn’t feel rushed when you watch it. Some films set out to do less, but end up feeling too packed and short and breathless. This is hugely ambitious, but it’s extremely well-judged. The crime scene sequence is particularly well done.
Great work.

i think the film was very good because it wasn't boring like most science films would be

I love it.
Norbert, you are correct about the RBC but even dead wood has DNA. DNA has also been extracted and characterised from 3,000 year old (dead)bones.

"DNA is something that is in every cell of every living thing".
Well this sentence is not true. There are cells that do not contain DNA. For examples the red blood cells, they lack a nucleus and as a result, have no DNA.
Another example is wood. Wood is also made of cells. Wood cells are dead, however, so they don't have almost anything including DNA.
Apart from that the film is OK but I don't like the music.
