![]() ![]() I honestly don’t know how to pick a favourite of these two. It’s worth every single penny, and still cheaper than a bottle of Flawless Filter.īut if you want to save said pennies, Primark’s amazing PS… My Perfect Colour Radiant Primer Foundation is far from a compromise. If you want a bougier option, personally I’d say go for the Mac. I can see why it sells out all the time – I have no notes, it’s hard to get more your-skin-but-better than this, especially not for six quid! For me, this is unheard of, so to have two products in one list that can do this feels like an absolute blessing. The direction is very good and the performances are all good, but it is Pacino's film and he does very well with it.Like MAC’s offering, I don’t really need to do any touch-ups during the day when I wear it. ![]() The film deals very well with both the tension of the situation but also the underlying stories and characters - even more surprising for the period it was made in, it makes a very balanced presentation of the homosexual characters. Overall this is not one of the best films ever made but it is certainly a very good telling of this true story. Durning is good in support and the rest of the cast are pretty good but it is Pacino's film and he manages well with the shouting, the silence and the complexities of his characters. His hit rate is amazing when you think that he was only ever in a handful of films and they were all pretty amazing, but it's hard to tell how good an actor he was really. ![]() Cazale is good here too but in a different way - a simple, sympathetic character. He is a real person and it is to his credit that, no matter the revelations about Sonny, he never loses the audience. The film's strength is it's performances and, in particular, Pacino in a performance that is both showy and understated at different times. The rest of the film captures the sense of circus and media feeding frenzy well as well as being quite tense and enjoyable to watch. It would have been easy to turn this relationship into a joke but the script allows it to be done with sensitivity. However the film actually manages to make this quite moving and difficult - not only do we feel for Sonny but the film is fair to him and, more impressively, Leon. While morally most people can accept robbers in films as characters to support, it is a bigger step to accept the sexualities and complexities of these characters and to get behind them. The plot is all the more fascinated for it being true but it is not an easy subject to bring to the screen. ![]() I watched it again today with the memory of it being good but not really as truly great as many seem to think it is. I have seen this film several times but it has been a few years since I last had the chance to see it. As Sonny and Sal try to keep control, a circus breaks out on the street with the police, the public and the media all involved. Things get worse when the police arrive outside and trap the two inside with a handful of hostages. The job starts to go wrong when Sonny discovers that the truck he was told was dropping off money, was actually picking it up, meaning the vault is nearly empty. Seconds into the job, the third man changes his mind and leaves. Sonny, Sal and another man walk into the bank and hold it up. ![]()
