This is not a reenactment. It is a documentary. One person's recollections about the train heist and other robberies he was involved in. Not boring. Very interesting. Well worth the watch.

By the title, I expected this to be solely about the train robbery. It provides background into the robber's upbringing and details other robberies he performed leading up to the train robbery. The back story let you know his character. He wasn't uncomfortable living on the wrong side of the law and admits it was actually his preference.

There was obviously a lot of research behind this documentary. His crime was not glamorized or vilified. Watch and judge for yourself.

Really fine acting. Especially Nathaniel Parker. I was sure I knew who did it. I didn't. Did the author write the script and lose interest the last 10 minutes? The ending doesn't fit. It is like someone who wasn't familiar with the story wrote the ending. Why didn't the killers actions leave tell tale signs of guilt? While the ending is implausable and disappointing it doesn't negate the quality of the performance. It just leaves the watcher frustrated by a really odd ending that doesn't make any sense.

Fine movie. Worthy of 2-1/2 hours of viewing. Just too bad the ending was so poorly crafted. Almost like putting a dill pickle on top of an ice cream sundae. What one wants is a cherry on top. Something that fits and compliments.

Residing in the states, unfamiliar with most of the actors. I have seen a few shows with Nathaniel Parker and have enjoyed all of his performances. He always comes across as a likeable character.

I can usually find something to like about a movie. Not this time. After 20 minutes, I knew I hated this movie. Boring, boring, boring. Even the love making scenes were boring. I continued to watch thinking something has to happen. I had his obsession with the photos figured out early on but watched on as they peeled layers away ever so slowly. Watching paint dry would have been more exciting. Just don't torture yourself.
