Biggest Heist Ever - Der große Bitcoin-Raub

The documentary was interesting but I was so distracted, to the point of disgust, by how cringey and obnoxious the main characters were, Heather especially. I was in horrified awe the whole time and it was genuinely hard to concentrate on the story. I'm just...there are no words. Woof.

The doc itself was well done, and everyone featured aside from Heather and Dutch helped build and explain the story. But my God, it's hard to get past the "rap" and grating voice and, well, everything.

Given all of the above, yes, it is indeed very hard to believe that these two individuals were responsible for any sophisticated events, let alone a large scale heist. But if their morals are as askew as their self awareness, then I do actually see how it could be possible.

Unlike the other two reviewers as I write this, I found this interesting. However, I was not familiar with the story, unlike the other reviewers. I agree we'd like more information, but I think that information we'd like about the details of the heist is confidential. If you don't know the story, I think it's worth a watch. At a minimum, the eccentricity of the characters is interesting.

ABOUT MY REVIEWS:

I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

Seriously though, you don't learn ANYTHING beyond some character back story. Not how they did it, not of they had outside help from foreign countries, no intrigue, nothing. The big fbi/cia guys who actually put the whole thing together & made the arrest are like cardboard; no personality, no excitement; dry as toast. Even the "friends" & coworkers know nothing about them, no juicy tidbits. All relationships were superficial at best. The subjects weren't shown to have lived a ridiculously lavish wasteful life. The producers & directors stole 90min of my life to say yep, they plead guilty. Don't waste your time.

This documentary was relatively okay, but in one of the interviews they discuss the ending of Red Dead Redemption 2 ... a huge spoiler! ... with absolutely no spoiler alert. I was about to start playing that game. Immense rage fills me as a result, and so I warn anyone who is considering watching this, proceed at your own risk. But I would say this mediocre documentary is not worth the spoiler.

I didn't meet the minimum character amount for a review so I will just repeat twice ... This documentary contains Red Dead Redemption 2 spoiler.

This documentary contains Red Dead Redemption 2 spoiler.

For emphasis and minimum character requirements.

Ok so it's a bitcoin film documentary and bitcoin is a digital term of currency and its value is questionable at best. I am not a fan of bitcoin.

I'm also confused as of how it is the 'Biggest Heist Ever' when it is clearly not. It's got some nice production and visuals but the characters involved are highly-pretentious and irritating and it's a very flat film.

I actually fell asleep 2/3rd's of-the-way-through. It is not entertaining. According to the article from the Independent it was not even the biggest digital heist of all-time.

Kids don't get greedy; be honest and work to the best ability you can. This is not the answer.
