Did that really happen?

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2004)

I really enjoyed dog day afternoon, and afterwards was glad to read hat it generally enjoys appreciation from audiences and of course that it has made its way towards IMDB's top 250.
I think it success has to do with the fact that performances are very personal and the audience will not find it hard to relate to characters. It makes an interesting watch and it will make the viewer wonder as to what will happen next and like the participants we do too like those criminals who thought robbing a bank would be like taking on a defenseless old lady on the street.
Al Pacino is brilliant as the great thief without a plan. Needless to say what I found most fascinating of all is the fact that it is based on a real story.
Overall this is not a movie to miss!!!
