DVD Polizei

Yep. She's a lying sack of shit.

Great series, btw.

Jack Straw

And there absolutely were, as documented in the Inspector General's (Catherine Leahy Scott) extensive and detailed 150+ page report which was largely used as source material for the production. Highly recommend Googling it if so inclined to learn more.

Just finished this and thought it was excellent. Arquette's performance stood out the most IMO.
It seemed like Matt believed they'd eventually get caught & escaped just for a few days of freedom & after Sweat ditched him he gave up & wanted to get caught.
I can't see any other reason for shooting at the trailer driving by. It didn't even look like he was aiming for it. Seemed like he just took the shots to draw attention to himself then waited it out for the police to show up.
Anyone else see it that way?

At least Sweat apologized to the cop after shooting & running him over... twice.

No, I think he was just drunk and exhausted. Drunk people tend to focus on one thing, in his case, carjacking. Watch a drunk person try to do a simple task like light a cigarette. They'll work at it for like 15 minutes straight and not just give up like a sober person would when failing at a task. He had carjacking on his mind the moment he found the rifle. Plus, Matt was like the proverbial dog who finally catches the car but doesn't know what to do with it. He had one plan after escaping, which was to meet Tilly. When that fell through, he just wandered around drunk. His attempt to shoot the car was a lame attempt by a newcomer at carjacking.

I was also thinking about this, oddly enough: a lot of people often say that in The Blair Witch Project, it was "the witch" who forced the trio to travel in circles. I thought they just acted like lost people in the woods. While Matt and Sweat did not travel in a circle, they clearly did not go very far (even in real life) considering the amount of time they were in the forest, proving that most people just don't navigate well in the wilderness.

Finally got around to watching this. Saw it in a span of a few days. Great mini-series, I have to say though, the series works better with the episode 6 placement. I did find myself rooting for them to escape then you see the shit they did that feeling turns around quickly (though there was a tiny part of me that wanted to see Sweat escape). Kudos to Ben Stiller, the cast and the entire production.
