3 out of 10 okay
John A from Dublin, 18 Feb 2008
Al Pacino is good in almost everything he makes and this film is no exception. Maybe what made the film seem a bit strange was the fact that it was a true story-which meant you had to forgive the script/storyline being a bit slow & protracted in places. Still if you're a die-hard Pacino fan you'll probably be happy enough with this 70's style heist romp.

2 out of 10 Based on a true story?
Florence from Dublin, 29 Jun 2008

What's it about....
Before Peter Finch was 'mad as hell' in NETWORK, Sidney Lumet's scorching indictment of the American television industry, Al Pacino played an equally ferocious and fed-up bank robber in Lumet's classic film DOG DAY AFTERNOON. Pacino is heartbreakingly real as Sonny, a smart and tough if self-destructive Brooklyn tough whose plan to rob the local bank to fund his male lover's (Chris Sarandon) sex change goes absurdly wrong. Accompanied only by his doltish accomplice, Sal (John...
