[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/Serpico_imp.jpg[/img] [quote]Frank Serpico is a young, inexperienced cop who starts out on patrol. Later, he starts to work as an undercover cop who busts all sorts of criminals, but mostly drug dealers and pushers. Since Serpico is a young man living in the 70's, he lives as one. His image, based on how others look on him, shows him as just a 'hippie' and the criminals he busts have no idea he is really an undercover officer. Everything is working out well, except the money situation. Serpico refuses to accept money, as the other officers do. He feels this isn't right, and wants to expose the situation. Who he thought were his friends now turn into his enemies when Serpico takes the stand on a grand jury investigation. He continues to work undercover, and his life is placed into jeopardy at the hands of his colleagues. [/quote] Based upon a true story of Frank Serpico, an honest cop who fought against police corruption. Marvelously directed by Sidney Lumet, this is one of the best films I've ever seen. Agrees anyone? Definitely 9/10.
Haven't seen it, but after a quick look on IMDB it looks like It'll have to go on my 'to watch' list.
What is it about?..
Don't diss Sepico

Easily one of the best films I've seen in my life.
