  • Description

Al Pacino stars in this classic 1973 corruption thriller

Reissued to celebrate its 50th Anniversary.
Serpico is a cop in the 1970s. Unlike all his colleagues, he refuses a share of the money that the cops routinely extort from local criminals. Nobody wants to work with Serpico, and he's in constant danger of being placed in life threatening positions by his "partners". Nothing seems to get done even when he goes to the highest of authorities. Despite the dangers he finds himself in, he still refuses to 'go with the flow', in the hope that one day, the truth will be known.

★★★★★ Pacino delivers a powerful performance in this compelling biopic of a cop and a city's police force Empire
★★★★ One of the grittiest, least romantic movies ever shot in New York The Guardian
★★★★ A courageous and gritty police exposé The Telegraph
