A masterpiece as an entertaining thriller

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2010)

Dog Day afternoon is simply a superbly organized film. It begins with the fact of being a real story, and that is the strong point of having told the story. After that we begin having something like a comic-thrilling surrounding the film, and you get kept laughing and at the same time expecting for something bad to unfold. What gets better about this part is the fact that you get really in touch with the main character, Sonny (Pacino). The great acting behind this weird character is what lets you know about his part intelligence/part ingenuity.
A great historic context is also involved in the film; the left outs of the 60 are also important in the movie, as they will make you laugh and at the same time reflex on the impact of this decade over the Americans.
What else can I say...just watch Dog Day Afternoon cause you'll not feel sorry for it.
