Totallly original story of bank heist gone wrong along with a classic Pacino performance
Dog Day Afternoon is about a bank heist gone terribly wrong. Sal (Al Pacino) and Sonny (John Cazale) stick up a bank while it was closing knowing that meant there would hardly be anybody inside. As soon as they start things go wrong. Their driver chickens out. They try to spray point over the cameras but Sonny can’t even reach them. Then when they get to the vault it turns out that most of the money had just been picked up so there’s barely any cash left. The story isn’t actually about the heist however but is really a character study of Sonny and his interactions with the hostages, the police and his family. It remains one of Al Pacino’s greatest performances.<br /><br />The movie touches on 1970s New York. For instance at one time Sonny comes outside and starts screaming “Attica” when the cops get too close to him. That was a prison riot which was brutally put down by police. Another time a bunch of gays show up supporting Sonny. Again, this was after the Stonewall riots in New York City that brought gay riots to the forefront. That’s brought up because it turns out that Sonny is gay and married a man named Leon (Chris Sarandon). This was one of the first films to deal with this topic. Again, this was completely unexpected from what poses as a heist film.<br /><br />Dog Day Afternoon is a classic because the story was so original and Pacino really stands out. It’s a must see.<br />C
