Sidney Lumet's 1973 crime drama Serpico remains one of the most influential cop movies - alongside Al Pacino's nuanced performance in a disturbing portrait of corruption and morality in the city that never sleeps.
A plainclothes street patrolman, Frank Serpico (Pacino) might be the best cop in New York, but his unwillingness to play dirty and give into police corruption of drugs, violence, and kickbacks his colleagues indulge in every day. When he decides to expose those around him, Frank finds himself a target, not just to the city's criminals, but his own peers.
Shot on location and based on real events, Serpico captures the grit of New York in a way no film has rivalled, not just for it's toned down realism, but also the bleakness Lumet portrays within his hometown city with brutal cynicism with frank immediacy. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Serpico for the first time on Blu-Ray in the UK.

"Say it isn't so, Serpico".
Steelbook could be considered slightly standard. Classic hippy image of Pacino on the front, as his portrayal of Frank Serpico, with the title below. No artwork on the back, which is a bit dull. Interior artwork included, along with a Serpico booklet, which any film fan would love. Only one disc included. Overall great, but could have been better with a few more hours done in the design process.
