Dog Day Afternoon
Inspired by the 1972 Darwin award nominated bank robbery.
Plot
On a hot day in New York, three men set out to rob a bank. It's supposed to take ten minutes, but things start going wrong from the beginning when one of them bails at the last minute. Four hours later, the bank is surrounded by police, a media circus, and crowds of well wishers.
Verdict
Pacino simmers in this daring and brilliantly constructed treatise on the many facets of a crime.
