This was a disappointing movie to watch and I did not finish it. It seemed to go on and on with repetitive Dukes of Hazard type scenes. The movie had nothing to do with DB Cooper rather it just used that title to deceive the viewer into watching it. And what a waste of talent - write the movie so your actors have something to do other than play around. If I was Kathryn Harrold looking back at this movie, I would be angry. She was in her prime then and had the talent for a much more substantial plot. As for Treat Williams, I liked him in Battle of Britain, but he was miscast in this plot. There is no information to suggest that DB Cooper was as outgoing as William's character so from the outset he was not believable. At the the very least get an actor who looks like the sketch and is a cool cucumber. This movie should have been a lot more serious and involved tracking through the wilderness and survival sort of like a fugitive idea. There could have been encounters with wild animals and a show down at the end. The humor schtick didn't work at all. The more I think about this movie the more turned off I get with it. Don't waste your time, it's not about DB Cooper.
