Genres & Description

Action Biography Crime Drama Thriller

8.0 / 10

Based upon a real-life story that happened in the early seventies in which the Chase Manhattan Bank in Gravesend, Brooklyn, was held siege by a bank robber determined to steal enough money for his male lover to undergo a sex change operation. On a hot summer afternoon, the First Savings Bank of Brooklyn is held up by Sonny and Sal, two down-and-out characters. Although the bank manager and female tellers agree not to interfere with the robbery, Sonny finds that there's actually nothing much to steal, as most of the cash has been picked up for the day. Sonny then gets an unexpected phone call from Police Captain Moretti, who tells him the place is surrounded by the city's entire police force. Having few options under the circumstances, Sonny nervously bargains with Moretti, demanding safe escort to the airport and a plane out of the country in return for the bank employees' safety.

Ironic how Al Pacino sounds EXACTLY like Joe Paterno in this movie, and sounded NOTHING like him in the actual "Paterno" movie. - @Sunday, April 8, 2018 8:40 PM

to me al pacino is the greatest hollywood actor. i know brando, de nero, daniel day-lewis, tom hanks and all cud do this character in their own style and that wud be a hit roo but i have found that al pacino's body movement and facial gesture during his acting and delivering dialogues is so much better than others that has made his ahead of others in my opinion. everyone has his favourites, i like and regard other actors too, but pacino is so much involved in his character and he invents and adds so much to a character that i cant but say that he is the best of them all. - @Friday, January 6, 2017 4:51 AM

When are they going to give this man an OSCAR.I mean,what more can you ask of from such a great method actor. - @Wednesday, May 14, 2014 1:35 AM

It's an excellent film, no doubt. They play it for 'laughs' but there's a couple of real heartbreaking moments...a picture from a really fine period for Al...I don't think John Cazale starred in a bad film. Immense acting talent. He'd be lauded today, in Al and De Niro's league. But he made his mark. - @Thursday, May 1, 2014 10:17 PM
