WHAT IT'S ABOUT:Based on a true story, Serpico is a courageous young cop who exposes the widespread corruption within the NYPD during the 1960's, which is a move that nearly costs him his life. WHY I LOVE IT:Nothing is so potent as the truth. Under Lumet's expert direction, we see the established, shady practices in one of the country's largest police departments. Though set in a police department, it could happen anywhere, since the story is universal: man against machine, David against Goliath, the peculiar bravery of one man going up against a large, insidious opponent. One of Pacino's best early roles. |
