From my original write up on Examiner.com:
"Obviously this was a big role for Pacino, and an important one, as it led directly to him getting the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather, so for that reason alone The Panic in Needle Park is a classic film worth watching, but it is also a very well made movie. The whole documentary-style approach to telling a fictional narrative has become much more popular in our current culture than it was in 1971, so this movie actually holds up very well and fits right in with the style of today, which is fascinating. And the movie has a dark yet hopeful ending, one that suggests that perhaps all is not lost between these two lovers, though it’s going to be a tough row to hoe, that’s for sure."Young Al Pacino in a super gritty and realistic 70s drama. How can you go wrong?
