SERPICO (1973)

Frank Serpico, once a rookie patrol cop now turned undercover agent, is man of integrity. His shabby "hippie" look helps grease his way in with drug dealers and pushers of the street whom he's assigned to bust. His morals, however, refuse him to allow a pay off from his busts, unlike some of his fellow officers. Intent on setting things right, Serpico's honesty rubs the dirty cops the wrong way and now Serpico must do his best to evade the life threatening situations the corrupt force places him in so as to try to keep him quiet.

The cast includes: Al Pacino, John Randolph, Jack Kehoe, Biff McGuire, Barbara Eda-Young, Cornelia Sharpe, Tony Roberts, James Tolkan, Lewis J. Stadlen, M. Emmet Walsh, F. Murray Abraham, Kenneth McMillan, and Judd Hirsch.

Director Sidney Lumet's, "Serpico," is a tough, realistic, involving cop drama.

The Serpico Review
