Seriously, does anyone watching this buy he's this super-genius criminal? That's laughable. He's an ugly, no doubt ...overly-teased, picked-on LOSER. Copy receipts to then return merchandise is considered cunning? Every reliable retail customer service rep. Is taught this day one... and I never had such job but know this. Is Canada that dumb that this specimen of human trash is suppose to impress? I don't live there but doubt it. So much haughty pride from this ugly POS it's laughable. Maybe better to document him being raped while locked up would be better source material. Anything to shut up his smug, entirely & fully deluded boring tale and incorrect self image.

Gerald Blanchard is a diabolical genius who stole millions from Canadian banks and the police there look like a bunch of Keystone Kops. The adopted nerd started his criminal career as a teenager and carried a video camera to chronicle his life of crime. Our neighbors to the north have a laid back criminal justice system, to say the least. Gerald admitted that had he committed the series of thefts in America, he would be serving life in prison. His adoptive mother is interviewed and she rightly points out that the bankers are much worse than her son. His biological father is not wound too tight, and he believes that his boy is just like his dear old dad. Pop claims to be a martial arts expert and I believe that he may have taken too many blows to the head. Gerald is interviewed throughout the documentary and although he is quite charming, something seems to be missing from this con man. I highly recommend The Jewel Thief.

Monie industry in US and Europe must stop grorifying criminals, making villains more appealing to the eyes of public. This documentary showed how mesmerizing the main character as a con man and they let him stayed free to bait bigger criminals without catching the guy. Law enforcement looked week and mesmerized by how clever the Blanchard stole millions. I'm not a law enforcer nor I claimed to be knowledgeable about criminal nor law enforcement but it looked to me by reason of catching the big fish terrorist financier, they willing to put a blind eye on what Blanchard had done. They way I see it, if you don't cut the arms of criminal octopus arms, then you empower the criminals.

Another case of unwarranted notoriety given to a sad, immature criminal, bright enough to perhaps have given something back to society if he had taken a different path. But, as far as the "mastermind" aspect is concerned, more is made of his exploits than they deserve and honestly, my wife and I fell asleep halfway through this documentary. The "mastermind" apparently uses the same cell phone for months while the wiretap is activated and he so desperately wants attention that he videos his crimes and rents vehicles under his true name. When you watch interviews with his biological father, you can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to delusions of grandeur, LOL. I feel sorriest for his mother.

The Jewel Thief is highly entertaining, you gotta like this guys moxie but I have to say the shows producers got the title wrong, One stollen Jewel in a decades long career of Larceny doesn't warrant a title of "The Jewel Thief". Maybe if he had stolen the Hope diamond then he would have earned that title "The Jewel Thief" But I would have to say the guy is a very likable Rouge and the story is very entertaining. In my humble opinion the bank heists are were his greatest accomplishment aside from getting his story told around the globe, Not easy thing to do! Check it out you will not be disappointed.

What a sad little man this documentary is about. He is delusional in most of his recounting, as supported by his friends, police and mother. Sure, he got an away with a lot, and was slick in how he did it, but this guy seems more elaborate and spectacular in his own mind; he is his biggest fan. The documentary players are cheesy looking, and that fact that his mother and police dispute much of what he says just goes to show that the subject lives in a fantasy world of his own making. I feel sad for others that think this guy was something special and amazing. Just goes to show you how easily people can be duped when their own lives are meaningless.

A sad story of a talented boy who failed to grow up and evolved into a talented, selfish, angry man-child. The documentary's celebration of a lifetime of lying, cheating and stealing is misguided. The video clips of his adopted mom document the years of pain and heartbreak he caused her. One cannot help but wonder if during his teenaged years, a positive role model in his life might have saved him. He could have been an amazing engineer... Finally, the legal system's treatment of him demonstrates how the legal system contributes to criminal careers / activity. All that talent. Such a waste. Sincerely, JTS.

I haven't seen a documentary this good with such an unbelievably ridiculous over the top, never in a million years story that is still boggling my mind that it all happened for real. It is a crime this phenomenal story has not been made into a movie yet but now with the release of this perfect documentary detailing the most unbelievable mastermind thief the world has known. It's going to be a bidding war between studios. If Netflix doesn't already have something in the works. Hulu really hit the nail on the head with this one. Everything about this doc. Is exactly how I like a story to unfold. Like a safe being cracked. Or maybe an ATM. NO SPOILERS GO WATCH IT!

When I saw "Hulu", I really didn't think it would be worth watching. But I saw the trailer and found it interesting, so I gave it a try. I must say, I don't understand why people would rate this so low. The dude documented all his crime with a camcorder. This stuff is REAL. But only 11 people have rated it so far, so maybe it's too early to judge. Surely his theft is immoral, but I found it all to be very exciting. And perhaps he shouldn't work for hardcore criminals, but hey, apparently he's back to stealing PlayStations, so he's probably living in San Francisco right about now. I haven't seen something as well documented since Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis.
