The true story of Canadian wunder-thief Gerald Blanchard, this documentary is one of those that makes you stare at the screen and try to figure out if there’s any way to believe what you’re watching. Blanchard’s decades-long crime spree spanned three continents, with each heist getting more and more off-the-rails than the one before. Plus, hearing exactly what happened (and how) from Blanchard himself makes it all the more mind-boggling. It’s absolutely bonkers, and director Landon Van Soest put it all together in a brilliantly riveting package.
4/5 stars
