I Am DB Cooper

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.

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!

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.

Habitual criminal Rodney Bonnifield tells bounty hunters Carlos Rocha and Mike Rocha that he is the real DB Cooper. He has a tale to tell. In 1971, DB Cooper parachuted with $200k loot from a passenger plane and into infamy as the only unsolved plane jacking FBI case. Rodney is an overweight white guy. He recounts his criminal life with ease and the group sets off to find the rest of the missing loot.

Here's the deal. I'm certain that Rodney isn't DB Cooper. That doesn't mean that I'm not taken by his tall tales. It's white trash fun like a lot of 'reality' TV. I have come to accept that most psychopaths are undetectable liars. In fact, people with experience dealing with criminals can often be overconfident in their truth-seeking skills and get tricked. This is stuff of rundown bars and poor trailer parks.

Give me a break. This movie is a total waste of time. This 19-year-old with no parachute experience hijacked a plane, jumped and survived? They do ZERO fact-checking until they dig for four hours and find NO money? This loser is like Eric Cartman telling a grandiose story about himself on South Park. He's the greatest robber of all time; all women love him; most popular guy on Earth. The other people and crew of this movie are either knowingly lying or are the DUMBEST people you could meet. Definitely get a bail bond from this guy, because you can escape in a heartbeat without paying. I plan to tell the producers and documentarians that I was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 even though it was 14 years before I was born. They CERTAINLY will believe that I played badminton with Lee Oswald. BTW - notice the "Entertaining beyond belief" review is left by "M. ROCHA" and there is a person named Mike Rocha in this movie. HMMMMMMM.
