Review of Serpico (1973) by August C — 13 Nov 2014
Serpico is a solid detective story based on a true story about corruption within a New York police department, and the only moral officer that had the courage to expose it. There's no doubt that Al Pacino carried this entire movie with his believable and convincing lead, but in my opinion that made everything around him, characters and even story, pale in comparison.
A few scenes felt irrelevant to the story and the pace slowed down a little too much for my taste at times, but Serpico is nonetheless worth seeing for Pacino's performance alone.
