Synopsis:
On the blistering afternoon of August 22, 1972, two optimistic losers attempt to rob a Brooklyn bank -- the frantic master-mind Sonny (Academy Award-winner Al Pacino, "Scent of a Woman," "Carlito's Way"), and his slow-witted buddy Sal (John Cazale, "The Godfather," "The Deer Hunter"). But then the cops arrive. The crowds arrive. The TV cameras arrive. Even the pizza man arrives. As their heist turns into a circus, Sonny and Sal's notoriety grows, and their chances for survival shrink. Pacino teams with his "Serpico" director Sidney Lumet ("The Verdict," "Prince of the City") for a jolting comedy-drama that earned six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and a win for Frank Pierson's streetwise screenplay based on a real-life incident. Recently selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 400 greatest American films of all time. "Funny...vivid...Lumet's most accurate, most flamboyant New York movie," raves The New York Times of this box-office hit.

For a 1970 film, I'd say not too bad.The story seems to be kind of slow in parts, yet it is both a comedy and action film.Out of a score of 1-10, with 10 being highest, I'd rate this film about 7.It wasn't a complete knock-out, but I am glad I've seen it. B (USA April 2007)

if the new york times "raved" about this movie, I can only suggest that the new york times be sedated and carefully watched, lest it inflict further harm upon itself and innocent readers.pacino's performance is impressive; the rest can safely be disregarded.
