Set in 1977 and based on a true story, Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård), a former real estate developer puts a dead man's switch on himself and the mortgage banker who did him wrong, demanding $5 million and a personal apology.
Been eager to see something about this movie. My grandfather was very involved with the case. It'd be super rad to see someone portraying him on the big screen!
Edit
Checked the IMDB. Grandad's gonna be on the silver screen!

Wow this looks really interesting. I will check it out but what gives me pause is the director.
