Dead Man's Wire Review
‘Dead Man’s Wire’ Sees Gus Van Sant Tackling an Odd But True Crime Tale. Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery and Cary Elwes star in the real-life story of Tony Kiritsis, who harbored a serious grudge against a mortgage firm. For his first feature in six years, director Gus Van Sant has picked a familiar pattern –– a true-life tale. And ‘Dead Man’s Wire’ certainly boasts a compelling hook.
A kidnapping case that was locally infamous in Indiana that briefly attracted national attention in the late 1970s. But with some odd tonal choices, the movie doesn’t always do justice to what is a fascinating tale of desperation and candor.
