alan g One of the most overrated movies of all time. Since when does screaming,"Attica,attica", constitute acting. Too bad Casals died young. He would have been a great actor. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review To F De lo mejor de Al Pacino. Me encantan estas películas que solo suceden en un lugar y hay policías por todos lados! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Christian K Hard to believe that the major driving plot of this, besides the bank robbery, was kept a mystery to me for a critically acclaimed almost 50 year old movie. Pacino and Cazale are expectedly incredible. My favorite sequences are when Pacino and the lead cop are screaming at each other in what seemed like could of been a Key and Peele sketch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Aender S More than just a movie about a bank robbery, with an excellent Al Pacino. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review matthias s "Dog Day Afternoon" is a rollercoaster of a movie that keeps you on your toes. Al Pacino delivers a mesmerizing performance that's worth the price of admission alone. The film's message about societal norms and how they perceive "freaks" is both thought-provoking and timely. It challenges our preconceived notions and reminds us that freaks are not the freaks we think they are. However, this cinematic gem has its drawbacks. For me, the pacing can be a bit sluggish at times, making the film feel longer than its runtime. While Pacino's acting is a standout, some supporting performances fall flat. The extended runtime also tests your patience, requiring a substantial investment of your time. In the end, "Dog Day Afternoon" is a mixed bag of brilliance and drag. It's a must-see for Pacino fans and those who appreciate films with a powerful message, but be prepared for a bit of a marathon. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Michael V Anything can happen during the dog days of summer. On August 22nd, 1972, everything did. Dog Day Afternoon is a 1975 American biographical crime drama film directed by Sidney Lumet 🏦 Awesome! 😀 I'd totally recommend it 👍🏼👍🏼 One of my favourite movies of the year ⭐️ Grounded in an outstanding performance by Pacino, this is movie balances drama, tension, and humour… Based on the true story of would-be Brooklyn bank robbers John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturale. Sonny and Sal attempt a bank heist which quickly turns sour and escalates into a hostage situation and stand-off with the police. As Sonny's motives for the robbery are slowly revealed and things become more complicated, the heist turns into a media circus.
