For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The plot sounds exactly like 'Dog Day Afternoon' in which Al Pacino plays a guy holding hostages in a bank he has tried to rob to get money for his boyfriends sex change, but that doesn't have Kevin Spacey or Denzil Washington in it! Are you maybe confusing DDA with The Negotiator in which Kevin Spacey talks policeman Samuel Jackson out of killing his hostages in a police office block?
rja211077, What kind of fool are you not to remember the 1984 movie "Renegotiated" Directed by Claus Verben, a brilliant German Director, who died in 1986, "Renegotiated" was his last movie and was considered to be his best, and was nominated for 5 Oscars in 1987 on its re-release.
The Movie you are after is Dog Day Afternoon, staring Al Pacino, John Cazale directed by Sidney Lumet
Renegotiated also stared Al Pacino and John Cazale, and is sometime confused for Dog day aftrenoon, and some might say is far better.
