Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Most who view will give in to this crazy, zany crime story. Rated: 3/4 Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Alexander Mooney Slant Magazine If Dead Man’s Wire adds up to less than the sum of its vicarious jolts and sardonic jabs, it’s perhaps a result of Gus Van Sant’s style fading into the background. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Observer There’s something to be said about movies that are just good enough, especially those that refashion real events into cinematic junk food. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 13, 2025 Full Review James Mottram Radio Times Bill Skarsgård leads this thoroughly gripping based-on-fact kidnap drama. Rated: 4/5 Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report The result is both gripping and funny, a mid-sized thriller powered by Bill Skarsgård’s magnetic central performance and Gus Van Sant’s playful sense of tone. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Rua Fay Cinemasters A movie so cinematic and inspired, it will make it remember why you love cinema. Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
