FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Dog Day Afternoon
‘Dog Day Afternoon’ is an insult to an Al Pacino classic – Review
3 / 10
It may seem unfair to judge “Dog Day” so closely to its venerated source material, and Giurgis and Goold admirably don't settle for a carbon copy of the film. But what is ultimately to be gained by making this a hammy, Neil Simon-esque romp? When you deprive the audience of any real tension or emotional stakes, what is there left to grasp?
Dog Day Afternoon: Now You Too Can Chant “Attica! Attica!”
6 / 10
Director Rupert Goold (Tammy Faye, Patriots, Ink) strains to infuse the proceedings with theatricality via such devices as having policeman stride down the theater’s aisles aiming guns at the stage. The high point, as you might expect, is the iconic scene in which Sonny exits the bank and screams “Attica! Attica!” at the crowd. In this case, the audience serves as the onlookers, even shouting back at Bernthal as if they were at a Mamma Mia! Sing-along.
