"Frank, let's face it. Who can trust a cop who don't take money?"
Serpico [Pacino] is an honest cop, which means all the more trouble for him. He finds out things he wishes he didn’t and is handed money being passed under the tables. He stands up for himself but no one really seems to care. The ones that do have no way of helping him so he doesn’t know where to go.

This film is based on the real life of a retired NY policeman and starts off with Serpico drenched in blood being driven to the hospital. We work back to where he just started his career and we witness how the corruption around him changed and worried him. He’s good at what he does but let’s others take credit for his work. Seems he can be walked all over but no matter what he doesn’t join in on the corruption and pay-offs.
Serpico’s trying his best to take a stand but the people willing to help either don’t have any connections are too scared to get involved. How far can you get if you’re not trusted within the department?
