Il poliziotto oriundo italoamericano Frank Serpico viene portato d'urgenza in ospedale e un flashback ci mostra la sua storia. Arruolatosi giovane e con entusiasmo nel corpo di polizia di New York, si infiltra negli ambienti della malavita, ma scopre ben presto come la stragrande maggioranza dei suoi colleghi siano corrotti. Tenta, allora, di denunciare il marcio, ma viene sistematicamente ignorato dai suoi superiori. Quando il caso esplode, Serpico viene emarginato dai colleghi che cercano di provocarne la morte...

5.0 out of 5 stars A COP WITH MORALS 26 Jun 2011
By Graham
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This film is based on a true story, and stars Al Pacino as Frank Serpico, the title of the film. Newly recruited as a New York cop, Serpico sees the corruption that is going on, and wants no part of it. All he wants to be is an honest cop. But others around him think otherwise and try to tempt him into their corrupt world. He gets transferred several times to different police precincts that are 'clean'. But once there, he finds that there is no such thing, and becomes a lone crusader trying to clean up the New York city police force. The trouble is no one wants to know, and his reputation follows him, and he soon becomes the most disliked cop in New York.
Every once in a while along comes a film that has something special, and this film is one of them. It concentrates on story rather than action, and tells a good one. Anybody who likes 70's cop films, or is a fan of Al Pacino MUST SEE THIS FILM. The New York locations are gritty and real (104 different locations). And portrays the seedier side back in the 70's. This ranks high on the list of Al Pacino's greatest films, and proves that a good film done right does not need to rely on action sequences to make it a box office hit, and this film was done right. This borders on the edge of brilliance.
The film is presented in a ratio of 1.78:1. The original ratio was 1.85:1. But most of Paramount's dvd releases are in this ratio if the original was shot in 1.85:1. Picture Quality is razor sharp, with no grain at all, and according to the box the audio is in 5.1. (The film was originally shot in mono).

5.0 out of 5 stars a great movie 15 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Taken from the true story of the life of Frank Serpico, this important film stirred up controversy and showed us a side of police departments that they certainly don't want shown. Serpico plays the only honest cop who doesn't take bribes and kickbacks. What is scary is the casual manner the other cops in the film just view taking the graft is just part of the job just like loading their guns. We also see a scary lesson of what happens when one honest man takes on an entire bureaucracy that does not welcome him and what can ultimately happen to him. How many other Serpico's are out there past and present who never got to tell their story for one reason or another. A powerful film that is just as relevant today as when it was made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Al is the man 16 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Great movie by Sidney Lumet (sreenplay by Waldo Salt, who wrote Midnigt Cowboy). Based on the real-life story of NYPD Detective Frank Serpico, who refused the, at that time, standard practice of being paied of by the mob. This was Al Pacino's first movie after finishing Godfather part I. It is hard to say anything negative about this film. The story is great, Al has not yet become over the top in his style of acting and script and direction is inspired. If you love the films from the period this is a must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten classic
This is one of my all time favourite films. For some strange reason it tends to get over-looked whenever Al Pacino's back catalogue is mentioned. Read more
