DOG DAY AFTERNOON - FILM REVIEWS
"Dog Day Afternoon is, in the whole as well as the parts, filmmaking at its best." Varity
"[Pacino] gives an electric performance, charged with a lunatic energy that expertly captures the weird blend of confidence and self-deprecation (if not hatred) that marks the paranoid syndrome." - TIME Magazine
