This film is just a long big chase scene and it's fine on those levels. Treat Williams is great in the lead and Kathryn Harrold is simply beautiful. Although it's doubtful that this film portrays what really happened to D.B. Cooper, it's quite enjoyable. My only problem with the movie is that there isn't much character development, but one of the best things about this movie is all of the beautiful scenery. From the green forests of Oregon to the raging rapids of Wyoming and to the isolated deserts of Arizona. It's all good and I suggest that anyone who can't find something to do for ninety minutes should watch this.
