Fine Thriller

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2009)

Dog Day Afternoon is edge-of-your-seat thriller that's based off a true story, when two former Vietnam War Veterans decide to rob a bank in broad daylight, the robbery should of only lasted ten minutes, but eight hours later it was the hottest thing on TV. Al Pacino again gives us a fantastic performance as a character whose mixed emotions leads him to the worst of actions. 120 minutes flies by whereas they're in the bank for 95% of the movie. It's a very suspenseful thriller, with intriguing characters topped off with some very memorable scenes. As this actually happened in the stages of reality, you appreciate the movie even more as it accurately displays the events the occurred on that Sunday afternoon. Dog Day Afternoon is a must-see for all Pacino fans as he delivers a fantastic performance.
