  "description": "Dead Man’s Wire is a well-made movie with a wonderful cast that isn't enjoyable to watch. I don't like my milk with ice and I don't particularly care for Tony Kiritsis either. Was he wronged? It sure seems like it and I'm the last person who's going to sympathize with some god-awful company. Kiritsis' captive puts a face on the crime as a proxy for his father but he comes off as weak, conciliatory and dull. I love both Bill Skarsgård (hell, his brothers and father too) and Colman Domingo but I don't care about their characters here. It's a hostage movie and we all know how those go. The hostage-taker has demands, law enforcement feigns compliance and things go sideways. Things, naturally, go sideways for Kiritsis (though he was found innocent by reason of insanity and remanded to a psychiatric institute, serving only ten years after refusing an early release with conditions he disagreed with). Rage, rage against the system.",
