Markoff and Shimomura received $750,000 for their book rights and $650,000 for the film rights. The most sensational parts in the book or the movie had absolutely nothing to do with the truth.

Sharknado is closer to reality than Track Down. The cringest part is Tsutomu's fictional gf.

Take Down (the movie) was fantastic fiction, and even showed Mitnick as convicted before he even was.

However my cringiest take away from the book was Simomura's detailing of what he was eating which seemed to have so many mentions that at times I thought it was a healthy eating dialogue.

Anyone who knew Kevin, knew that Takedown was complete BS - "fiction" or not.

You'd be better off watching Freedom Downtime.
