“This is edgy, explosive filmmaking—part true-crime thriller, part American tragedy, and one of Van Sant’s strongest works in years. He takes big swings, trusts the audience to wrestle with ambiguity, and makes a film that lingers long after the credits.”

“Dead Man’s Wire succeeds because it understands the tragedy beneath the circus. Van Sant and Skarsgård refuse to simplify [Tony Kiritsis], portraying a flawed, furious man undone by forces bigger than himself.”

'Dead Man’s Wire' Review: Gus Van Sant Turns a 1977 Hostage Crisis Into a Fierce Modern True Crime Story Dead Man’s Wire, directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Bill Skarsgård, Al Pacino, and Dacre Montgomery, turns a true 1977 hostage crisis into a tense, timely drama about economic injustice.

Dead Man’s Wire review:
“[Bill] Skarsgård plays Tony as someone who tries to stay reasonable long after reason has abandoned him. His performance balances wounded pride, fury, & a strange sort of charisma that keeps you watching even as his actions become indefensible.”

“Dead Man’s Wire” is a well-rounded film that elevates the real-life event it’s based on. [TIFF] Dead Man’s Wire, Gus Van Sant, Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha'la, Colman Domingo, Al Pacino, thriller, drama, Row K, Elevated Films, Toronto International Film Festival,

“Dead Man’s Wire is a tense drama that focuses on a completely unrecognizable Bill Skarsgård (in human form, at least) in arguably one of his best roles to date…a captivating story of pushing the wrong man too far.”
