In an unwavering pursuit of justice, “godfather of whistleblowers” Frank Serpico finds himself in the line of fire as he wages a one-man battle to expose rampant corruption within the ranks of the NYPD. Based on the true story of the cop who, with unflappable integrity, broke the blue code of silence and became a paragon of truth in the process. Grounded by a fully-embodied performance from Al Pacino, here in a nervy personal best, the Sidney Lumet classic now plays as near wish-fulfillment in a world familiar with the slogan ACAB, making the film all the more essential.
