Alcatraz Prison Escape: Deathbed Confession

Whoever did the production music needs to find a new line of work. Good luck deciphering what the hell they are saying because of that idiot producer that has the thought it was a good idea to crank the background music twice the volume of the voices. My Gods it's unwatchable.

Obviously, the sound quality is terrible and you can read all about that from the other reviews that talk about how the music is so loud you can't hear most of the dialogue, which begs the question if anyone ever previewed it before slapping it onto Amazon video to get some money off of the notoriety of the content. But let's also discuss that the video quality itself looks like it was filmed on an iPhone 4 at best and then edited using some freeware QuickTime conversion software to push it to a Windows Movie Maker or other freeware video editing software. I don't even think they could have used iMovie to edit this as it doesn't even look that professional. It's an interesting theory and story, but it's unentertaining. At one point I saw a very older MacBook Pro model in the documentary and I wished that they had used that to edit the film instead of the DOS or Windows 95 PC that they must have used instead.

What more can I say? Documentary was very interesting and informative but the background music absolutely ruined it. It quite literally gave me a throbbing headache.

I decided to watch this because I'm interested in the history of Alcatraz. It was so hard to watch because the background music is so loud you can hardly hear the narration. I decide that I would turn on the closed captioning so I could read what was being said. The production crew that put this show together needs to be sat down and have their jobs properly explained to them. I ended up just turning the volume down and read the captions. That being said I did find the show interesting .Overall the editing and video quality are sub par and make this show almost unwatchable. If I wasn't interested in Alcatraz I probably would have turned it off.

Let's put the background music at a higher level than the narration. Can't hear the narration because the music is too loud. Unwatchable
