A dedicated cop looks back...
“Frank Serpico” is a documentary about the man portrayed by Al Pacino in the Sidney Lumet-directed feature film, “Serpico.” In the early 1970s, he stood up to the New York City police force. Hailed as a hero by many, hated by others, officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he blew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the New York City Police Department department. His one-man crusade for police reform is chronicled in this film.<br /><br />Frank tells his story in his own words from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his gripping account of a dramatic drug bust — and possible set up — that ended with him being shot in the face.<br /><br />Serpico joined the New York City Police Department in September, 1959 as a probationary patrolman and became a full patrolman in March, 1960. He was assigned to the 81st precinct, then worked for the Bureau of Criminal Identification for two years. He was finally assigned to work plainclothes, where he uncovered widespread corruption. When his complaints fell on deaf ears within the department, he eventually contributed to a New York Times front-page story on widespread corruption in the NYPD which drew national attention to the problem. Mayor John V. Lindsay appointed a panel, known as the Knapp Commission, to investigate accusations of police corruption.<br /><br />Serpico revisits many actual locations that played a part in his story, including the restaurant where his father had his shoe shine shop, his old apartment building, and the actual site at which he was shot. In the latter sequence, Serpico leads director Antonio D’Ambrosio through a reenactment of his shooting, along with clips from Lumet’s film.<br /><br />Serpico is especially proud of his undercover skills as he methodically recalls specific cases and arrests. The film includes archival footage, interviews with former colleagues and friends, and actor John Turturro praising Serpico’s integrity in the face of increasing frustration and ostracism by his fellow police officers.<br /><br />Special features on the unrated widescreen DVD release include alternate opening, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and trailer.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : In the early 1970s, one man stood up to the entire New York City police force. Hailed as a hero by many, hated by others, officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he blew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the department. His one-man crusade for police reform inspired the Al Pacino classic that bears his name, but the real life saga is as gripping as anything Hollywood could dream up. Now, Serpico tells his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust and possible set-up that ended with him being shot in the face. Featuring music by Jack White and interviews with Serpico s associates and admirers including Luc Sante and John Turturro this is an inspiring, all-access portrait of a courageous man who refused to betray his ideals..
