Dead Man's Wire
A film by Gus Van Sant
w/ Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Al Pacino
Rated R
1hr 45min
On February 8, 1977, Tony Kiritsis entered the office of Richard Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired with a "dead man's wire" from the trigger to Tony's own neck.
Leaning heavily into the 1970s of it all, Van Sant clearly uses Dog Day Afternoon as an inspiration, but makes this story his own with Skarsgård absolutely dominating the landscape.
