Dog Day Afternoon

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2011)

This film is based on a true story about Sonny played in Oscar nominated performance by Al Pacino who robs a bank to pay for his gay lovers sex change operation. He was in way over his head and the robbery which shouldn't have lasted very long lasted for over 8 hours plus. This film won an Oscar for original screenplay and got nominated for best picture. This is one of Al Pacino's best performances of his career. The late great John Cazale also stars as Sal his partner in crime.
This is an interesting film about a decent man who gets himself in a crazy situation. In real life the real guy served 10 years in prison and died in 2006.
I recommend this film
