Very special performance by Pacino

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2016)

You realize at the middle of the movie that things are not going to end good for Sonny and Sal but they are trying to give you the feeling that they have everything under control and it's all going good. Then just by the very end you can feel how scared Sal is and why he is doing everything that he had been told and that gets him killed. It was a heartbreaking as Sonny accepts his future and had acknowledged what happened. It all started as a simple bank robbery but then it turned into mental games that have been playing against Sonny and his goodness that keeps telling him to be good. Pacino provided one of the most heartbreaking, powerful, insane and mind bending performances that has been seen at the screen. John Cazale has also shown us what a strong character he is as portraying Sal. Extraordinary writing and dialogues, with creation of some tense scenes. 3.5/4
