I really dug #DeadMansWire. Feeling straight out of the 70s, this crime thriller from Gus Van Sant finds dark humor in an unbelievable true story and elicits sympathy for a complicated man seeking justice. Bill Skarsgård is fantastic, giving possibly his best performance to date.
DEAD MAN'S WIRE is in US theatres. Screenwriter @AustinKolodney joins All About Al: The Pacino Podcast to discuss writing the film while he was working at the L.A. Zoo.

Dead Man’s Wire stars Bill Skarsgård as Tony Kiritsis, an unhinged lower-class man who believes a bank has screwed him in a land deal, so he kidnaps and holds hostage one of the bank’s executives, played by Dacre Montgomery. https://t.co/D6z577GKlb
The standoff lasted for 63 hours, from Feb 8 to February 11, 1977.

REVIEW | There is a certain transfixing quality to Bill Skarsgård’s performances. In Gus Van Sant’s crime thriller, Dead Man’s Wire, Skarsgård is peculiar and mostly compelling. | @News24Arts
