I found this documentary pretty boring. It isn't that Serpico didn't do great and courageous things as an honest member of the NYPD -- that he did.
The problem is he did them nearly 50 years ago, and (for medical reasons) has done little else of note. Moreover the story of his actions has been retold so often you have to wonder what point the filmaker was trying to make by dragging the man back in front of a camera.
So, to summarize: big fan of the man. Not a big fan of this documentary about him.
