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.

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.

When all is said and done...it's doubtful you'll leave the film convinced.

If only because there are other claimants who have more established ties to the crime, and established evidence.

When all this man has is a tall tale he used to dupe his friends and get in women's pants.

What makes his story most suspect, is not only the timing of the claim (he clearly tried to use to get out of an aggravated assault charge)...but the fact that he essentially claims that the whole thing was pulled off on a whim, without any planning, or viable knowledge of the aircraft industry whatsoever.

Which makes you wonder why they ever even believed him at all.

That being said...the recreations in the film are quite well done...even if the investigation it attempts to cover is kind of paltry.

So it has that going for it at least.

Even if the rest is a bit underwhelming.

5 out of 10.

Terrible format making up fake interviews with people. Interesting story just put together very poorly. It's possible this guy could be DB also possible. Mystery is stop up in the air.
