I Am DB Cooper

I realize this is a mockumentary, but it was not entertaining at all. I was expecting it to be a little outlandish, maybe a parody or spoof of all the DB Cooper videos out there, but this was a complete waste of all resources.

I would go so far as to saying this is false advertising. I can't believe they were expecting people to pay to watch this fiasco. Instead, they should be paying people to watch it!

This so-called movie will surely go down in history as one of the lowest points in not only video history, but also in human history. Years from now, in movie-making classes at universities everywhere, students should be required to watch this mindless drivel in order to learn what not to do - and avoid extremely true reviews like the one you are reading now!

Awful acting - no interesting actual facts. Zero actual evidence. 'Dramedy' at best. Do not waste $5 on this movie like we did, it's more like a bad cast of actor-wannabes instead of dramatic portrayers of real-life events. The title is misleading and as someone who has been following the DB Cooper mystery for the past 20 years - this was an absolute joke.

Rodney is a likable and potentially convincing protagonist - he's not the problem. The problem is with the producers and directors of this film and the fact they thought people who've actually been following the db copper case would enjoy this whatsoever.

A fascinating look into one of the many people who have claimed to be DB Cooper. A mix of interviews and recreations focus not on facts, but rather what Rodney Bonnifield knows as "his story."

Rodney might be DB Cooper, or a liar, or a kook. The filmmakers leave it to us to decide. The title, after all, is "I Am DB Cooper," not "He is DB Cooper."

The recreations are not based on established elements of the case but instead on Bonnifield's storytelling. He is what is called in fiction "an unreliable narrator" - a narrator who is not stating facts of the story, but rather telling their version which may not be objectively true.

I do not believe Rodney was DB Cooper. But I was left wondering if maybe Rodney believes he was.

In "I Am D. B. Cooper," director T. J. Regan attempts to unravel the mystery of the infamous skyjacker who hijacked a plane in 1971 and was never seen again. The movie mixes documentary and fictional elements, following the story of real-life bail bondsmen Carlos and Mike Rocha as they try to track down D. B. Cooper's loot. However, the movie is weighed down by tedious, uninteresting characters and a confusing, unengaging story. The inclusion of fictionalized interviews with D. B. Cooper and singer Rita Coolidge only serve to distract from the already thin plot. Overall, "I Am D. B. Cooper" is a disappointing and forgettable attempt to shed light on a fascinating historical event.

As an avid DB Cooper aficionado, I will watch everything that even mentions the name. When I watched the trailer for this a few weeks ago I knew immediately it was going to be garbage. Some people are awful liars, and the subject in this "documentary" is one of those people. It's so apparent he's looking for fame that there is zero need for a polygraph. 300000 years of human evolution is all anyone with a functioning brain needs to see through his absurd claims. Half this film is made up of actors pretending to speak for people who they clearly didn't get the dialogue from. The only way I can recommend this is if you enjoy unintentional comedy. Otherwise...save your money. It's that preposterous.
