I Am DB Cooper

Wow! Such a wild ride this film took us on!!! Allowed us to explore a different idea of who DB Cooper is and showed us a new face who not only claimed to be him but had the exact details to prove it. Enjoy it for yourself, trust me. Besides, that, what else could you really ask for, plane hijackings, live music, and a true love story. It's everything you want in a movie. I honestly think most people are taking this too seriously, just sit back & ride the ride... ignore the haters. This has been a 50+ year mystery and FINALLY someone put an entertaining spin on it. Rodney Bonnefield is DB Cooper!

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.

Give me a break. This movie is a total waste of time. This 19-year-old with no parachute experience hijacked a plane, jumped and survived? They do ZERO fact-checking until they dig for four hours and find NO money? This loser is like Eric Cartman telling a grandiose story about himself on South Park. He's the greatest robber of all time; all women love him; most popular guy on Earth. The other people and crew of this movie are either knowingly lying or are the DUMBEST people you could meet. Definitely get a bail bond from this guy, because you can escape in a heartbeat without paying. I plan to tell the producers and documentarians that I was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 even though it was 14 years before I was born. They CERTAINLY will believe that I played badminton with Lee Oswald. BTW - notice the "Entertaining beyond belief" review is left by "M. ROCHA" and there is a person named Mike Rocha in this movie. HMMMMMMM.

A fascinating look into one of the many people who have claimed to be DB Cooper. A mix of interviews and recreations focus not on facts, but rather what Rodney Bonnifield knows as "his story."

Rodney might be DB Cooper, or a liar, or a kook. The filmmakers leave it to us to decide. The title, after all, is "I Am DB Cooper," not "He is DB Cooper."

The recreations are not based on established elements of the case but instead on Bonnifield's storytelling. He is what is called in fiction "an unreliable narrator" - a narrator who is not stating facts of the story, but rather telling their version which may not be objectively true.

I do not believe Rodney was DB Cooper. But I was left wondering if maybe Rodney believes he was.

Habitual criminal Rodney Bonnifield tells bounty hunters Carlos Rocha and Mike Rocha that he is the real DB Cooper. He has a tale to tell. In 1971, DB Cooper parachuted with $200k loot from a passenger plane and into infamy as the only unsolved plane jacking FBI case. Rodney is an overweight white guy. He recounts his criminal life with ease and the group sets off to find the rest of the missing loot.

Here's the deal. I'm certain that Rodney isn't DB Cooper. That doesn't mean that I'm not taken by his tall tales. It's white trash fun like a lot of 'reality' TV. I have come to accept that most psychopaths are undetectable liars. In fact, people with experience dealing with criminals can often be overconfident in their truth-seeking skills and get tricked. This is stuff of rundown bars and poor trailer parks.
