“Dog Day Afternoon” Broadway Revival Falters With Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach

A new Broadway adaptation of “Dog Day Afternoon” struggles to find its footing, stifling the inherent tension of the story with an over-reliance on comedy. The production, starring Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, leaves its talented cast adrift in a tonally uncertain staging. This raucous take on the gritty New York portrait ultimately feels underbaked, failing to deliver the gripping drama the classic material promises.
