serpico

The institution is corrupt, but Serpico is trying to uphold the law not take it into his own hands.

Designed to help you manage and declutter your digital space, Serpico organizes your files by month, year, and file type.

This I compare to the NY Police in the 70s,60s, 50s...(corruption - Watch/Read about Frank Serpico for example).

Most police forces don't want men like Serpico on their forces.

Remember Serpico (not just the movie, but what the real guy uncovered): the New York police used to be hugely corrupt, until his testimony brought about changes.

I think it all started with movies like Dirty Harry and Serpico and then just got more and more extreme leading into the 1980s.

I don't think that Serpico fits in that tradition at all.

I feel in some ways RoboCop was almost like "Serpico + Dirty Harry if you turn everything up to 1,000." Serpico also had this theme of the good cop who is nearly killed and sent to the hospital due to corrupt system etc.

Serpico the movie is based on real life corruption.

Serpico was talking about the police receiving envelopes of cash, which is universally considered to be bad.

Cops who do the right thing are punished by their fellow cops, look up what happened to the real Serpico.
