Leave your thoughts about Frank Serpico.
| Village VoiceSam WeisbergMost hilarious is the revelation that the first director assigned to the film Lumet eventually made, the manic John G. Avildsen, wanted the eccentric, bearded hipster ex-cop to play himself. On the basis of this exceptional portrait, he very well could have. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanFrank Serpico is a finely etched and fascinating documentary. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzFrank Serpico doesn't supersede "Serpico," and it isn't meant to. Instead it serves as an interesting companion piece, one well worth watching. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleFor the most part this is an engaging refresher course in what fighting the power looks like. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeViewers who'd prefer a bit more psychological probing may be left unsatisfied, but most will appreciate this chance to hang out with the legendary whistle-blower. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe star of the movie is a compelling figure, and Mr. D’Ambrosio presents quite a few people from Mr. Serpico’s past who have a similar draw. But the director’s filmmaking instincts are not always salutary. |
| User ReviewJ BExcellent film about one of the most important and interesting whistleblowers in history. Also great for fans of the Al Pacino movie -- this one shows you what really happened, and how the consequences reverberate to this very day. |
