I seem to have lost my original "criticker" review of this film, but felt it justified a "thumbs up" for the absolutely thrilling event itself, and a film that totally does it justice. I am glad I saw it in 2D, because I dont think I my heart would have coped with it in 3D. Fantastic documentary

Not bad, but overrated. Of course it's a fascinating story and Petit is a very charming and passionate guy (although a little arrogant). However the documentary itself was too often filled with unnecessary visualizations of the events.
