Movie Reviews of Dog Day Afternoon [HD DVD]
Movie Review: One of Pacino's classic performances
Summary: 5 Stars
It was a rough year for the Academy since there were two great films that year: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and this winner, "Dog Day Afternoon" featuring a classic iconic performance by Al Pacino. Now, I've fortunately seen Pacino on stage back in the '90's in David Mamet's "American Buffalo" and he performed with so much intensity that I was over-awed. I think very few of his film performances have that intensity that his stage performances have had but this one shortly is the closest we'll get to Pacino, the stage animal. Watching this film again in a brilliant HD DVD transfer, is like watching a stage play. Director Sidney Lumet was at his best capturing the chaos of New York City life and the supporting cast is phenomenal: Charles Durning, Lance Hendrickson, the late James Broderick and John Cazale, nearly matching Pacino in intensity as his co-hort (of course, he also played his brother but this role certainly showed his versatility) in crime. It's a pity that he died so young from bone cancer (The Deer Hunter being his last film)but this film proven why he was so reverred in the acting world. It's a sad fact that Pacino could not top this performance or others in that period (And Justice for All; Scarecrow) with minor efforts like the execreable "88 Minutes" or "Righteous Kill" with DeNiro. Perhaps it is just the dearth of good material that causes great actors like Pacino to periodically return to the stage, his first love. So do check this one out for his off beat performance (180 degrees different from "The Godfather").
