FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Dog Day Afternoon

Dog Day Afternoon
5 / 10

Guirgis also seems to assume everyone in the audience either knows the movie or has their brain turned off for the first act, since there’s no explanation until the second act for why the seemingly decent Sonny has turned to a life of crime. When it comes, it’s a doozy: the once-married Sonny is now gay and wants the money so his cross-dressing boyfriend Leon (Esteban Andres Cruz, making the most of his little stage time) can have transgender surgery. Sadly, Leon isn’t sure he wants the surgery – or a life with Sonny – and their brief phone call is quite heartbreaking.
