Al Pacino Addiction

If you, like me, are a late Gen X-er or a millenial, chances are the vast majority of your exposure to Al Pacino is a few classic roles and a lot of Hoo-ahs! Make no mistake about it, though, Al Pacino is as legit an actor as they come… and, 1971’s The Panic in Needle Park is proof that he’s had chops for an awfully long time. In this gritty, dark, New York drug tale, the young Bobby (Pacino) and Helen (Kitty Winn) are a couple truly and madly in love, with each other and heroin.
