- 80The GuardianRebecca NicholsonThe GuardianRebecca NicholsonAs much as this gripping documentary is about the mysterious DB Cooper, it is about human nature, too. These brilliant characters, some deeply entangled in the story, some distant from it but connected, are believers. This film asks what keeps them believing, and it is a far bigger question than the mystery itself.
- 80The TelegraphAnita SinghThe TelegraphAnita SinghA documentary that couldn't fail to entertain.
- 75The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakIt’s even more fun digging into the tales on-screen if you’re familiar with the pop culture appropriation.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergThe Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergWhat Dower is interested in here isn't the hijacking itself or even how it has gone unresolved for decades, but rather the nature of the D.B. Cooper obsession.
- 50IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichDower, like so many of the obsessives he interviews here, grows too enthralled by the “who” of it all to stay on mission and meaningfully explore why it still resonates.
- 50RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoBy turning this narrative into a search for an identification that seems increasingly unlikely to ever happen, Dower loses focus, and we become just as lost as the hundreds of people convinced they know what happened to D.B. Cooper.
