D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! (2022)
Interesting story and perspective, but draught out
13 July 2022 - 3 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
The D. B. Cooper story is fascinating. However, this documentary chooses to focus instead on the culture and folks involved with investigations. It's a bold move, but frankly, there isn't really that much there to be told. If I had a penny for every time (the solid) interviewees mentioned the confirmation bias, I would be richer than D. B. Cooper by now.
There's a pattern of reused story points, visuals and editing styles. The upbeat jazzy scatting soundtrack doesn't really work either. It all feels a bit uninspired and cheap.
To its credit, this mini-series tells a story from a behind-the-scenes perspective that is relatively unique and untold, which I enjoyed. Thus, this is a fine documentary, no more no less.
