Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man's Wire is one of my early favorites on the 2026 movie schedule. The film tells the true story of Tony Kiritsis, a troubled man who, in February 1977, took his mortgage broker hostage in a situation that lasted 63 hours. Thankfully, no one was hurt or killed, but it makes for an incredibly tense movie, led by Bill Skarsgård, who plays Kiritsis. I got so engrossed in the story that I completely missed one of the biggest stars in the movie. Has this ever happened to you?
