The robbery should have taken 10 minutes. 4 hours later, the bank was like a circus sideshow. 8 hours later, it was the hottest thing on live T.V. 12 hours later, it was all history. And it's all true

One of my all time favorite Movies .
Al Pacino at his absolute best.
Still think he should have edged out Nicholson for the Oscar. But Cuckoo's Nest was brilliant as well
