US
Runtime
106 min

As The Guardian noted, Gus Van Sant’s 1970s set true-crime suspense thriller (blessed with a cast including Al Pacino, Colman Domingo and Bill Skarsgard) is made ‘with terrific chutzpah, black-comic flair and cool, cruel unsentimentality’ as it follows an extraordinary kidnap situation.
