Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Benjamin StrongOught to look pretty dated. Instead, Sidney Lumet's biopic of Frank Serpico, the virtuous cop who exposed a network of graft in the NYPD, feels depressingly relevant.
Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Ryan CracknellVery much an Al Pacino vehicle, not that this is a bad thing.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittA quintessential New York director made this quintessential New York movie in 1973, with Pacino at his best.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Don DrukerA virtuoso performance by Al Pacino and some expert location work by Sidney Lumet add up to a tour de force genre piece. (Review of Original Release)
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffSidney Lumet's direction adeptly combines gritty action and thought-provoking comment.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by Kim NewmanAl Pacino delivers a powerful performance in this compelling biopic...of a cop and a city's police force.
Stream on Demand - 9/10 by Sean Axmaker... set the style of American crime dramas in the seventies with his gritty look at street-level law enforcement and realistic portrait of procedure and systemic failure and it established Lumet as a director of intelligent, gritty, modern crime dramas
Film4 - 8/10 by Jon FortgangMemorable, thought-provoking and courageous.
New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyIt is galvanizing because of Al Pacino's splendid performance in the title role and because of the tremendous intensity that Mr. Lumet brings to this sort of subject. (Review of Original Release)
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...Lumet effectively establishes a real sense of time and place...
