Please see Gus van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, a hostage film & social tapestry that is "unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including Dog Day Afternoon,The Sugarland Express, Network and Badlands, and can stand proudly alongside any of them." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dead...
Dead Man's Wire review: Gus Van Sant tackles true-crime intrigue
A thoughtful, bleakly funny 1970s drama that speaks to the current moment, and is equal to the many classics that inspired it.
