For anyone interested in a far more accurate and entertaining account of Mitnick, I recommend "Freedom Downtime" from 2600 (store.2600.com/film.html)....

Freedom Downtime is an excellent film. It's worth purchasing as previous Anonymous user's website address pointed out.
Freedom Downtime features 2600's Emmanuel Goldstein and friends as they take a cross-country road trip in search of answers, and attempt to tell the world about who Kevin Mitnick...

I love Takedown, the soundtrack and interesting camera effects made it a good film. Everyone should see it! I would have liked it more if it were entirely based on his real events but I would say about 90% is true. Anyone who has researched him enough would know what was true and what was made-up....

Please allow me to set the record straight.
Ninety percent of the film was NOT based on real events based on my escapades, but based on Myth of Kevin Mitnick invented by John Markoff, et al.
The production company created a fictional story very loosely based on a few real incidents. The scrip...

Hollywood doesn't care about what is real and what is not. A blood-thirsty superhacker who can infiltrate and control very important government systems sells. period. It could have been based on a completely fictional character, the fact that you happend to be in the media spotlight just helped sell...

I haven't seen Takedown nor do I intend to see it, I do however own a copy of Freedom Downtime and I found it to be a very interesting and from what I've read elsewhere accurate account of events.
Markoff is scum.
Incidentally Kevin's book "The Art of Deception" should IMHO be compulsory readi...

They should have asked people that knew about Kevin in the early years. He use to social engineer numbers from people like Regina "Watts Towers". Also a certain female that use to come over to ANI his phone. And the phone parties he use to go to, but he would be in a separate group, like with Lou...
