The first half is kind of funny, the second half is real and brutal.

On a hot afternoon, Sonny and Shar, along with a partner who had left the stage, came to the Brooklyn Bank to rob the bank. Just after the start, the man behind him had already left the stage with a drum. Unlucky Sonny was embarrassed, the bank had just completed the transaction and there was not much money left. Sonny and Shar were also stunned, and they could still play like this. It was destined that Sonny was not the kind of ruthless gangster. The robbery that should have been completed in 10 minutes was extended indefinitely.

Sonny and Shar tried their best to make more money, so they ransacked the counter and other places. Just as the robbery was about to be completed, a call from outside came in. It turned out that the sheriff had arrived, and they yelled at Sonny, the police and This is where the tug-of-war between criminals begins. Sonny was holding the hostages, and he was very nice from the beginning to the end. He also chatted with the hostages. The hostages inside can make phone calls and walk freely, but they are not allowed to go out.

The black security guard had asthma, and soon Sonny let the guard out. The manager had a diabetes attack because the weather was too hot. Sonny let him out, but the manager didn't leave. Sonny first asked his wife to come over. After the police took it over, people were shocked. It turned out that Sonny's wife turned out to be a man. In addition, Sonny had his own wife and children. Finally, he called his wife An Qi. The phone call showed Sonny's situation completely. It turned out that Sonny's main purpose of robbing the bank this time was to perform sex-change surgery on his boyfriend.

There was a little accident in the middle, that is, the police tried to come in from the back, but Sonny found out. The relationship between the two sides was tense. Fortunately, neither Sonny nor Shar hurt the hostages, so the negotiation has been going on. Sonny asked the police to provide a plane, but the plane couldn't land here. There was only one car, which could hold Sonny and the hostages. The audience at the scene followed suit, as if watching a live broadcast. In the end, the farce ended with Sonny being captured and Shar being killed.

    I really like seeing the young Al Pacino so much, the farce-like tone makes the ending feel extremely heavy.

    In the afternoon on a hot day, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is infinitely sad. How I hope these two hapless escapes, what a pity. There are so many spectators in the emotional beauty emperor, he is even more hilarious than the Chinese, and it is not a big deal to watch the fun. Al Pacino is too awesome. This performance is textbook-level, and it conveys the restlessness incisively and vividly, which makes people feel distressed. The supporting roles are not timid, and the whole is perfect.
