Serpico is a crime / drama based on the true story of Frank Serpico, a NYC police officer who started a crusade against corruption on the force. Al Pacino gives a top-notch performance as the title character. The film takes you through his matriculation as a rookie officer fresh from the academy up until his testimony at the corruption hearings. You feel for Serpico's plight to get his voice heard while others are trying to hush it. Great direction by Lemet coupled with superb production that puts you right in NYC during the early 70's.
All in all this film is not to be missed from your collection. It has blessed mine and I rate it a 9/10. This film shows Pacino in his nascent stage as an actor and from this performance you can see that he was destined to be just what he is today, one of the greatest actors of all times.
Enjoy and Peace...
