Dead Man's Wire is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Dead Man's Wire.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Dead Man's Wire knows its audience.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Dead Man's Wire actually is?

Everyone praising the Dead Man's Wire performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Dead Man's Wire's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Honestly, Dead Man's Wire would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Dead Man's Wire is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Dead Man's Wire. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
