Editorial Reviews

Based on a true 1972 story, Sidney Lumet's 1975 drama chronicles a unique bank robbery on a hot summer afternoon in New York City. Shortly before closing time, scheming loser Sonny (Al Pacino) and his slow-witted buddy, Sal (John Cazale), burst into a Brooklyn bank for what should be a run-of-the-mill robbery, but everything goes wrong, beginning with the fact that there is almost no money in the bank. The situation swiftly escalates, as Sonny and Sal take hostages; enough cops to police the tristate area surround the bank; a large Sonny-sympathetic crowd gathers to watch; the media arrive to complete the circus; and police captain Moretti (Charles Durning) tries to negotiate with Sonny while keeping the volatile spectacle under control. When Sonny's lover, Leon (Chris Sarandon), tries to talk Sonny out of the bank, we learn the robbery's motive: to finance Leon's sex-change operation. Sonny demands a plane to escape, but the end is near once menacingly cool FBI agent Sheldon (James Broderick) arrives to take over the negotiations. Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

The Ultimate Bank Robberyby Anonymous

Reader Rating:

December 06, 2004: Over all I think this movie ranks on the list of the all time best classics, it had great acted and a great script, plus Sidney Lumet made it. This movie is just about a couple of losers who set out to 'rob' a bank, but it goes wrong fast, and now they are stuck inside, as tensions grow so does the crowd outside the bank. This movie is ecellent, and it is 'based' on a true story, but over all I think any one can enjoy it's humor, suspense, and of course it's sorrow. You can, kind of, relate to the characters, even though they are not ordinary, but that's what makes the movie so great, just watch it, I promise you'll enjoy it.
