Review of Serpico (1973) by Ethan A — 16 Apr 2010
Al Pacino is pretty much the greatest actor of the 70's. He was nominated for best actor or best supporting actor every single year from 1972-75, that is quite an accomplishment. 1972 (The Godfather), 1973 (Serpico), 1974 (Godfather part II) , & 1975 (Dog Day Afternoon)...I have now seen all of those films, and everyone of em is a masterpiece.
Serpico follows real-life cop Frank Serpico on his quest to cleanse the streets of New York from corrupt police departments. It is a very slow film, but with it's incredibly fantastic performances, great script, and it's telling of how obsessed Serpico was with his job...it makes for one hell of a great movie.
