The master of all robbery flicks, Dog Day Afternoon stars Al Pacino and John Cazale as the robbers of a bank in Brooklyn. Based on a true story, this movie is a memorable one with suprises and laughs to boot. It's believable, even Chris Sarandon's role, or rather especially his role. Charles Durning is pushing it a little bit as the annoying head of the cops on stakeout kind of guy, but he's cut out in the middle, basically. Once again, hilarious, and what could be bad about watching an Al Pacino performance?
