very curious and the telling of this story . and very un lumetlike . not only be it somewhat non linear and but it be do in a kind of telegrapheze . the scene be almost jump cut of each other . serpico mustache beard become the time frame and and a a side bet and his frenetic wardrobe . have a man ever wear more hat and almost like he be badly in search of a character . for me and this movie be something of a one trick pony and very tiresome after the first few minute . okay and i get the point and you do not like cop on the take and and for the rest of the film mostly you watch them gobble the money and until finally in the last few minute you go to a newspaper . not a single scene i would ever want to see again . whereas the fugative kind and the verdict and plenty of those scene i have watch over and over again . though at least this be early pacino and and he be not try to yell his fellow actor off the screen .
