Patron Exclusive Review Episode 95

He Made Them An Offer They Actually COULD Refuse.

Al Pacino walks into a Brooklyn bank one Dog Day Afternoon and leaves a folk hero to a city furious at belittling authority figures. But can this clumsy criminal cash in on the celebrity of his TV news appearances and finance a “happily ever after” ending for both his wives? And what will cop Charles Durning (Tootsie) and G-man Lance Henriksen (Aliens) do if henchman John Cazale (Godfather 2) makes good on his promise to start tossing out bodies? Learn if Sidney Lumet’s 1975 drama is all bark and no bite when you become a July Now Playing Patron.
