The TVI Take
Sidney Lumet's 1975 true-crime film about a bank robbery in Brooklyn that turns into a 14-hour hostage standoff, Al Pacino (Oscar-nominated) and John Cazale anchor. The structural commitment to letting the protagonist's actual motive (raising money for his lover's gender-affirming surgery, in 1972) be the actual subject, and Pacino's repeated 'Attica' chanting sequence, established the film as canonical 1970s New York lead-actor work.
