Thought this would reveal more about the famous NYC cop, Frank Serpico. It did, but I wanted it to be all about him. This documentary wandered around in his places of residence, neighbors, cops from the same era, that weren't that interesting.

Excellent 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.

He's a fascinating character, whether played by Pacino in Lumet's film or just being himself in D'Ambrosio's.

For the most part this is an engaging refresher course in what fighting the power looks like.
