Movie Reviews of Serpico (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Inspired by true events.
Summary: 5 Stars
This story was inspired by true events and tells a heroic tale of a police officer who refused to give in to the corrupt practice of taking bribes. Serpico just wants to be a good cop and do his job well, but this is difficult when you have to watch over your shoulder for a bullet that might be coming from one of your fellow officers. There's also a great book by the same name, so don't just watch the movie. Great story!

Summary of Serpico (Widescreen Edition)
Tony Manero (John Travolta) in Saturday Night Fever and Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) in Boogie Nights have one major thing in common: They both have posters of Al Pacino as Serpico on their bedroom walls. As the real-life NYPD detective whose integrity cost him virtually everything (and almost cost him his life), Pacino became one of the icons of gritty, realistic 1970s filmmaking. Released in 1973, between the first two Godfather movies, this is the true story of Frank Serpico, a long-haired, idealistic, iconoclastic cop who reluctantly goes undercover to investigate dirty colleagues who are on the take. This is one of the definitive Pacino performances, along with his role as Michael Corleone in the Godfather saga, and Sonny the bungling bank robber in Dog Day Afternoon (which reunited him with his Serpico director, Sidney Lumet)--and Pacino was nominated for a best actor Oscar for all of them (although he wouldn't actually win until 1992's Scent of a Woman). --Jim EmersonTrue-life story of a non-conformist undercover New York cop whose techniques isolate him from the rest of the force.
