Serpico Ratings & Reviews

    Love 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.

    I enjoyed the movie, although I'll admit I had to look up what was happening at times because they seem to make leaps in storytelling that they assumed the viewer would be able to follow. Not being familiar with the real story, I couldn't actually follow, so it felt disjointed to me.

    Serpico 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.

    "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."
