Serpico
Director(s): Sidney Lumet
Description
Al Pacino's classic portrayal of Frank Serpico established him as one of today's most versatile actors. SERPICO was based on the true story of a New York policeman who discovers that honesty is not expected to be part of his job. He endures scorn and mistreatment from his fellow cops while attempting to perform his job with integrity. The character of Serpico, combining the best elements of the Es… tablishment and counter-culture, is a tour-de-force for Pacino. The film is a breathtaking suspense story and a fascinating character study as well as a memorable statement about government's inherent flaws.
