Review of Dog Day Afternoon (1975) by Nathaniel B — 22 Dec 2011
One of Al Pacino's greatest performances, one of Sidney Lumet's greatest films, and probably the heist film that sets the standard for all heist films after it; 'Dog Day Afternoon' examines the robbery of a New York City bank and the robbers that do so bad at their jobs.
Just watching Al Pacino and John Cazale try to rob this bank is hilarious. They're nervous, scared, and just anxious to get the job done; but when the police catch word of it all, the robbery soon becomes a cat and mouse game of epic proportions.
Having everything a moviegoer loves, 'Dog Day Afternoon' lives on since it's 1975 release.
