‘Dead Man’s Wire’ has more than a whiff of ‘Dog Day Afternoon’

Gus Van Sant’s new crime thriller, “Dead Man’s Wire,” has already elicited comparisons to the tale of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive just over a year ago. The film explores the failures of capitalism by dramatizing a three-day period in February 1977, during which Indianapolis resident Tony Kiritsis, who was denied an extension on mortgage payments, held his broker hostage at gunpoint.
