Another masterpiece from Al Pacino (DVD)

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2008)

As in each of his great performances, there's a always great story , a great director behind and amazing co-stars (look at John Cazale in his ghostly role!!!)
So if Pacino seems lately to repeat in bad guy roles in second zone movies, blame his choices of scripts & directors but not his talent of acting.
"DDA" is really the kind of movie I like, because it is: - anti-conformist - deeply human
the bad guys are maybe not models but they show sensitivity. The police are depicted as blind, cold and Machiavellian. It is the only movie I recall in which the gangsters seem to appear as victims.
As it's happening in New-York at summer, it's a Brooklynian precursor of "Do the right thing" 10 years before.
In conclusion, a must-see !
