Dead Man's Line

I'd been waiting a long time to watch this and it was well worth the wait. The fascinating true story of Tony Kiritsis is beautifully executed in this entertaining and and informative documentary. Thoroughly well done and high recommended.

Having lived in Indianapolis all my life, I had never heard about this hostage event. Watching this documentary was an edge-of-my-seat insight into an insane picture of the local past. Compelling every step of the way.

I'm not sure how to describe it but the director uses what seems like a whole new type of documentary style to get this unbelievable true story across. I wasn't expecting anything too special coming into watching this movie. I had no idea I'd be watching possibly my fav doc ever. You won't just be on the edge of your seat in complete wonder of what will happen next.. Dead Mans Line will get under your skin and cook your goose.. The end result will leave you floored.

A well-made film by what would appear to be a first-time feature length documentarian. It could probably stand to lose 5-10 minutes of fat, particularly in the final 20 or so, but ultimately compelling. It isn't for everyone, as it does expect some patience with its stylistic choices. Give it time, though, and I feel you will walk away satisfied.

Having lived in Indianapolis for most of my life (since 1973), I remember seeing and hearing about this story throughout the years. But I always wanted to know more. I was only 9 at the time so I don't remember seeing any of the news stories or live coverage, I'm sure by design by my parents. To finally see the footage, feel the intensity as though it was happening live today, was quite an experience. Thank you so much for creating this documentary and allowing me to finally gain perspective on this important piece of Indianapolis history. Well done!!!
