Al Pacino at his best.....what's better , he is not alone....

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2010)

Based on a true story Dog Day...showcases scintillating performances from the entire cast including rather animated crowd scenes . The whole set up is vividly depicted be it in the location or the crowd which gathers around the scenes of action.
Humorous , Ironical and devastatingly blunt in it's approach towards social issues the story slowly transforms itself into a grim portrayal of the society from a casual heist movie in which the heist is conducted by a couple of amateurs.
The almost unnoticeable change in the tone and plot of the story makes this movie wonderful to watch and then appreciate.
The unorthodox way in which the subject matter has been treated , calls for generous adulations to be bestowed upon the Director and the entire creative team.
The natural tinge which colors the acting makes it even more delightful to appreciate the characters and their dilemmas .
Thoroughly entertaining and refreshing the movie also serves as an eye- opener for it signifies many things symbolically, literally and effectively.
