Good Cop, Bad Cops
A semi-accurate account of Frank Serpico's time with the NYPD. The real life Serpico was a consultant for this film and argued a lot with director Sidney Lumet and eventually walked away from the project. Serpico said he liked Al Pacino's portrayal of himself from bits he watched over the years but didn't see the entire film until 2010. Serpico also was not allowed on the film set because it was felt he would be a distraction.
The film is a classic and worth watching even though Lumet did take some liberties and added a few things that simply wasn't true.
Great film - highly recommended for fans of drama and all film buffs.
9/10
