Serpico(1973)

7.5/10

dir. Sidney Lumet

C-Tier

Pacino disappearing into the role is the thing everyone mentions after watching. People who saw the 35mm print say the 4K captures that same quality. The C-Tier rating from Kino stings for a film this good. Collectors recommend pairing it with Prince of the City, same director, similar territory, arguably even better.
