A true bank robbery...

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2015)

"Dog Day Afternoon" is a crime movie which is based on a true event and this event was a bank robbery. In this movie we have a man who wants to rob a bank because he wants to help his lover to do an operation. But this turns into a hostage situation and a fight with media and the people.
I liked this movie very much because is is based on a true incident and it was a robbery really different than the others that I have seen before that. I also liked this movie because of the interpretations of Al Pacino who played as Sonny and John Cazale who played as Sal. In addition to this I want to mention that also the direction of this movie which was made by Sidney Lumet was very well organized and this was obvious in the whole duration of the movie. This robbery is very different from all the other robberies that I have seen because we watch the robbers being in the same mental situation with the hostages and they create a bound between them.
Finally I want to say that "Dog Day Afternoon" is a great movie that everybody should watch because it shows us and gives us many issues to think of. Also I believe that after watching this movie you will discuss about it and maybe reconsider some of your opinions about certain subjects that come out from this.
