SYNOPSIS Sidney Lumet's 1973 crime drama Serpico remains one of the most influential cop movies - aIongside Al Pacino's nuanced performance in a disturbing portrait of corruption and morality in the city that never sleeps.
A pIainclothes street patrolman, Frank Serpico (Pacino) might be the best cop in New York, but his unwilIingness to play dirty and give into poIice corruption of drugs, violence, and kickbacks his colleagues indulge in every day. When he decides to expose those around him, Frank finds himself a target, not just to the city's criminals, but his own peers.
Shot on Iocation and based on real events, Serpico captures the grit of New York in a way no film has rivaIled, not just for its toned down realism, but aIso the bleakness Lumet portrays within his hometown city with brutaI cynicism with frank immediacy. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Serpico for the first time on BIu-Ray in the UK.

"AI Pacino delivers a powerfuI performance in this compelling biopic of a cop and a city's poIice force" - Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
"A virtuoso performance by Al Pacino and some expert location work by Sidney Lumet add up to a tour de force genre piece (1973) that transcends the supercop conventions to create a moving, engrossing portrait of Frank Serpico-a literate, sensitive, honest cop who tried to come to terms with society and the policeman's pIace in it, and was crucified by a poIice department too corrupt to want any part of the reaI world. " - Don Druker, The Chicago Reader |
