  • i hope the studio system never tries to do a remake on this film.

  • do you know what, i love al pacino, what an actor, he seems to have lost his way slightly but i think that comes with age but at this point he was top of his game and just simply dynamite!!!

  • Lance Henriksen plays that cop Murphy at the end. One of his early films.

  • @burrfscott I bet they will, Hollywood's running out of new ideas so the people there are using old ideas to get their paychecks. It's sad actually

  • SPOILER ALERT!

  • @Shelby596 De Niro.

  • @burrfscott Not unless they have Christopher Walken as Sonny.

    Oh God, don't even give them an idea like that. If they do, I might fucking snap and kill everyone involved. For the love of John Cazale and Sidney Lumet, don't slap this one in the face with that big white Hollywood cock. No, please, don't let them do it, man. ATTICA! ATTICA!

  • @tatelabianca I agree with you in regards to Cazale. He is criminally underrated, probably because he only starred in the grand total of five movies - but what movies they were! The Godfather I&II, The Deer Hunter, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon - that's one hell of a track record. And he is probably the only actor ever whose movies have all been Oscar-nominated. This particular movie entirely rests on the chemistry between him and Pacino, it just sparkles. Too bad his career was cut short.

  • @tatelabianca Al Pacino agrees with you on Cazale. He was supremely talented and under appreciated IMO, but I still think Pacino is better, I think he has this epic range that no one has touched.... ever.

  • @ryanakababyface He hasn't lost "his way" at all, it's just that it's hard to find movies like this anymore, b/c studios would never make a movie like this anymore. Also, have you seen him on Broadway lately? He's as AMAZING as ever.
