Raw and gritty a mix of crime and media sensation .

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2019)

Anyone knows that the 70's had much different films that were made they were blunt, open, and honest as directors like Sidney Lumet pushed the envelope. Based on a real life case from 1972 this picture shot almost like a news live or documentary style way shows courage and desperation on a hot sunny Brooklyn afternoon as two determined unknowns Sonny(Al Pacino in a shout out stand up performance!) and Sal(John Cazale) one the leader the second the follower decide to holdup a bank only to have things take a turn for disaster.
Now enter the cops, crowds, TV cameras and even pizza deliverymen and you have a swarm of drama and decision this film clearly has raw and different vibes of energy as it's a fine entry of 70's film and Al's performance is in top notch form as this go against the grain film is a renegade classic!
