    Lumet is very good at creating a narrative in a narrow space, which can be seen in his "Twelve Angry Men". There is no doubt about Al Pacino's performance, and he was deeply impressed by his roar, which is very similar to "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". Dog Day is largely a depiction of the psyche, like the western film "Noon," about hot, repressed, restless, and out of control emotions. The director created a grand whole Stockholm syndrome here. The crime of robbery is like a trapped...

    There's always a bit of witty humor in Black Lives Matter, but it's still not escaping the brutal reality. Al's show, the pinnacle of the Godfather era, stands out....

    The story that shows society through events is delicate and moving. This kind of story is often a comedy that begins with a tragic ending, the plot slowly advances and squeezes, and the emotional tension erupts. I remember the feeling of rewatching "Twelve Angry Men" before. The director's control of the group play and the scheduling of the dialogue shots are perfect, and Pacino's penetrating performance made the atmosphere tense to the end,...

    Soft-hearted robbers have turned crime into a farce, and the cruelty and helplessness of life has made all hostages suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, and if I were one of them, I would certainly be no exception. At that time, al pacino was young and in high spirits. Unlike all of his crime movies, it's just that what happens in 12 hours makes you feel more mortified than watching movies about 12...

    Dog Day Afternoon, the best translation should really be "Afternoon of Dog Day". Based on a true story, the worst bank robbery in American history. Sidney Lumet has once again demonstrated his ability to grab an audience in a small set, and Al Pacino is almost Oscar-worthy every time he performs, but this is probably his best performance until he turns 40...

    Al Pacino is the pinnacle of work, but due to its age, I can't see anything, but feel that only eye contact can represent...

    nice! This pitiful ultra-low-cost, high-exposure-reward robbery is a once-in-a-hundred-year-old one-star addition to a particularly real and heartwarming group show hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I couldn't help but coax Al Pacino young At that time, the dark eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth are too beautiful! Sal doesn't have much dialogue but is excellent! Every Twister is doing so well Brooklyn is so...

    This is my favorite bank robbery movie. The plot is different from ordinary robbery movies. It is realistic and sad, but it is not overwhelming. Al Pacino is very young in it. The whole story takes place in a small and broken bank. , maybe it was a stupid and ridiculous wrong decision, maybe it was a trick of fate, it was enough to reflect the situation of ordinary people in the society at that time, the unexpected ending was also very thrilling in the camera, and the other actors in the movie...

    I really like watching movies based on real things like this. The first half is very funny, I feel like I want to rob a bank with just this IQ, but the second half is very heavy, and I feel sympathy when I understand his messy life. Al Pacino was really powerful and handsome when he was young!...
