𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: One of the all-time great New York-set movies is a true standout of the 1970s New Hollywood movement. Al Pacino puts forth a gripping performance as an inexperienced bank robber with good intentions, who quickly finds himself in a standoff with law enforcement after a botched robbery turns into a hostage situation. DOG DAY AFTERNOON brims with a raw energy that’s further highlighted by a documentary-style approach, a flawed anti-hero in Pacino, and a prescient critique of authority. Also starring John Cazale, Chris Sarandon, Charles Durning and Carol Kane.
