Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic He's a fascinating character, whether played by Pacino in Lumet's film or just being himself in D'Ambrosio's. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 30, 2017 Full Review Scott Marks San Diego Reader A must for fans of upstanding citizenry. Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times For the most part this is an engaging refresher course in what fighting the power looks like.

Georgan G 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
