Based on a true NYC bank robbery in 1972, this movie is often regarded as one of the classics, but you don't hear people talk about it that often. Al Pacino was on fire back then. You could tell he was young and hungry, but is the movie as good as they say? Eh, I guess so.
You can tell this movie was a huge influence on Airheads (1994). The hostage situation that garners fans and sympathy while the police try to handle it.
This movie also has Chris Sarandon as a super gay, Charles Durning as the police guy, John Cazale as Sal the co-robber, and Lance Henriksen as another cop. His appearances are brief, but he's bad-ass. His part in in this movie is probably why they wanted him as a Terminator. He blends in. Regular yet creepy. A killing machine.
Yeah, it's a good movie movie. I'd buy it for a dollar.
