Dog Day Afternoon

Two would-be bank robbers attempt a heist that quickly becomes a hostage standoff with police. As negotiations continue, the desperate leader’s motives emerge, while a growing crowd and live media coverage transform the tense situation into an unexpected public spectacle.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy character-driven crime films with tension, dark humor, and moral complexity, especially Heat or The Town; Not for you if you want fast action and constant momentum.
