Serpico

Serpico

1973

Based on the real-life story of New York City undercover cop Frank Serpico (an honest man who refused to take part in the corruption forced upon him by his peers and was grievously wounded because of it), this movie ranks among Al Pacino's greatest film roles. Directed by Sidney Lumet, Serpico is at once an indictment of corruption and a shining testament to one man's effort to reform the New York City Police Department.

Many of his fellow officers considered him the most dangerous man alive - An honest cop.
