" Pacino simmers in this daring and brilliantly constructed treatise on the many facets of a crime."- Empire ★★★★★
From the true story about a Brooklyn bank robbery gone haywire one hot August day comes a gripping, funny Oscar-winning movie capturing star Al Pacino and director Sidney Lumet at the top of their game.
A desperate and crazed man (Pacino in his Oscar-nominated role), with the help of an accomplice (John Cazale), takes a local Brooklyn bank hostage with plans to rob it. Lumet also picked up a "Best Director" nod.
