It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Weird, murky, disturbing... words that describe both the case itself, and this rather uncomfortable and odd documentary about it.I'm amazed that Hollywood hasn't made it into a movie yet. If there ever was a movie, I really hope that the role of Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong could be played by Tim Curry (pre-stroke), because although they are different genders, he bore a striking resemblance to her, and could certainly play her with chilling accuracy.I'm surprised that I somehow missed the Pizza Bomb case as it was unfolding at the time, despite the media attention, but given its murky and confusing nature, it is perhaps easier to take in the details as collated here, with the benefit of elapsed time and a broader vision to put the fractured pieces into some sort of order.However, it is a shame that the documentary wasn't better organised, and seemed to suffer from the assumption that its audience already had some prior knowledge of the case and the people involved.For most of the first episode I was totally confused by the narrative lurching from the robbery and the bomb collar to Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong - whose involvement wasn't explained at all to begin with - and how the various other people fitted in. Although it is, perhaps, too simplistic for dramatic tension, I would have preferred a more linear narrative and clearer explanation.Also, it was very confusing the way the documentary switches from a first-person account of the investigation by the journalist/filmmaker, in the style of a poor man's Louis Theroux, to a third-person historical documentary style with interviews and a narration. In short, it was messy.However, as the messiness and uncertainty of the documentary fully reflects the exact same qualities in the events depicted, it is perhaps somewhat fitting. Overall, a compelling story that could have been better told. Well worth a watch, though.

I found this very interesting and well done. It kept me watching non-stop till the end. Although I was familiar with the story, there was a lot more to it then I could ever imagine. They did a great job backing up their story with facts, actual witnesses, and law enforcement interviews. My only criticism is that it could have been a bit shorter. It did tend to drag towards the end. It probably could have been done in 3 episodes (or maybe 2). Either way - it did keep me gripped to the screen.

Yes the story is interesting and yes four (one hour long) episodes isn't a lot but they could have done the whole story in two.I felt like I watched the same scenes numerous times, the same info was given repeatly making me feel I had already watched this episode. Honestly if your going to watch it; watch episode 1 & 4 and the story will be told the exact same. Bit of a waste of time.Also Majorie is a loud & annoying which is no fault of the documentary but I don't need to see the same scenes of her screaming a tangent repeatly throughout multiple episodes.Far too dragged on to spill the beans in the last ten minutes of episode 4...
