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.

This would be interesting, but very difficult to watch due to the incredibly loud and unnecessary background music which plays throughout, even during interviews.

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.

If they did watch it, they would have the same trouble everyone else has: YOU CAN'T HEAR HALF THE INTERVIEW CONTENT BECAUSE THE MUSIC DROWNS IT OUT. Dishonest filmmaking for other reasons, e.g. Floating yet another sea story about this event, but this event and not helped by sub-moronic statements like "the rock has not revealed all it knows and all it doesn't know" -- like what isn't known can be revealed. The irony here perhaps is that a good fictional thriller probably could have been made of the material they were attempting to sell as fact, but perhaps that is more work than taking a premise and cobbling "supportive" material around it.

Danny Trejo's narration goes to waste. The dramatic, canned, pulsing background music is overly loud. And it's quite unnecessary. A waste of what would have been a good doc'.
