2nd best film of 1975!

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2001)

I say it is the 2nd best because I think One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the best, I mean, you can't beat Jack when he gives it all he's got, but this came in a close second.
First off, I usually like any Al Pacino movie, but this one is particularly good. He plays his character like he is Sonny Wortzick! John Cazale gave an absolute knockout performance as the paranoid, nervous, and unsafe behind a large machine gun character of Sal. He truly made me wonder how stable he could be under that much pressure.
The movies intensity can only be measured in the amount of sweat on the arm of you chair. O-kay, so I'm being a little overly dramatic about this movie, but it is extremely intense.
Although the whole thing is good, what makes it so extraordinary is the last two or three minutes when you see weather they make it..... or don't! What made the film all the more better was the fact that no background music was in this (which gave it a creepy extra touch); but most of all, the whole story is TRUE!!!!!! I will not give away the end because I'm just not about that, but trust me, you will be surprised! 9/10
