An exceptional film that shows the true talent of the amazing Al Pacino even at the early stage of his career. Bank robbery films really don’t get much better. I absolutely love the fact that the majority of this film takes place in the bank, it creates a great atmosphere.

ParanoidAndroid24 likedDog Day Afternoon”the guy who kills me, I hope he does it because he hates my guts, not because it's his job” i enjoyed how this mostly took place in the bank; made you feel stuck with them. surprised that ”comedy” wasn’t one of the genres listed. this is as good as a bank robbery movie gets imo.

Such a great and exciting movie. Al’s best performance, and Cazale was great in it, same way he was great in every other movie he appeared in. Shame he didn’t have a longer career, he was the highlight of the Godfather, Deer hunter, and this. Worth a watch, great suspense

Metacritic
Lumet is exploring the clichés, not just using them. And he has a good feel for the big-city crowd that's quickly drawn to the action.
Roger Ebert

Pacino simmers in this daring and brilliantly constructed treatise on the many facets of a crime.
Adam Smith
Empire
Dog Day Afternoon is a melodrama, based on fact, about a disastrously illplanned Brooklyn bank robbery, and it's beautifully acted by performers who appear to have grown up on the city's sidewalks in the heat and hopelessness of an endless midsummer.
