Brilliant, one of the best New York movies

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2001)

A truly amazing and brilliant drama with Pacino in one of his greatest roles as a married man with children, who holds up a Brooklyn bank so he can pay for his lover's sex-change operation. If it sounds amusing to you, it certainly is, but this film is filled with lots of drama and tense moments along with some laughs. Being focused on one specific location and story, one would think it would be boring, but this manages to grab your attention all the way through until an exciting, semi-predictable finale. Keep in mind that this really happened in August 1972.
