My Favourite Film

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2000)

Dog Day Afternoon is without doubt my favourite film of all time. When recommending the film to friends I found myself thinking the plot was unbelievable, and to be honest it is hard to imagine when told cold. Watching the film you DO believe every thing you see and every emotion is touched upon. It also has moments of extreme comedy and to say that Al Pacino has never bettered this performance shows the brilliance of the acting. He is never let down by a superb support, in which Charles Durning shines. It makes me yearn for the pre Star Wars hey day of American movies. Please see this movie
