A refreshing new take on a bank robbery

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2003)

First off, I'd like to say that this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Probably my absolute number one. The reason I liked it so much was how the bank robbery was portrayed. Yeah, yeah, Sonny *was* robbing a bank. He was a criminal, obviously. But the way the movie twists and turns, it makes you kind of forget about that, and sympathize with him. It takes you through the rocky road of his life and really kind of lets you see with his eyes. Al Pacino, who has never let me down in delievering an unforgettable performance, is a genius, and really brings the character to life. The light tone of the film in general, a mixture of every detail in the whole movie really, makes it something you would not want to miss.
