Serpico Ratings & Reviews
- StairwaytothestarsDecember 3, 2025This is a quintessential 1970s crime drama that perfectly embodies the era's unflinching realistic cinematic style. Al Pacino is searing as he fights corruption as SERPICO. This is classic Pacino back in the day and looking his best. Now that's a face!
- johnrodanNovember 17, 2025Serpico is a fun character, but there’s not enough substance to carry the length of the film. I didn’t realize this was based on a real person until the credits rolled.
- gosso85September 5, 2025Love this film, one of Pacino’s best. It’s crazy that this is based on a true story and I don’t think they had to embellish much. If you love a good cop corruption story, Serpico is a cop that every other cop should look up too.
- SpanktacularJuly 4, 2025"The problem is that the atmosphere does not yet exist, in which an honest police officer can act without fear or ridicule or reprisal from his fellow officers."
