Pros: Gritty, Ray Liotta, Jason Patric Cons: Not many
Narc (2002) is a gritty, urban police procedural a la The French Connection (1970). A buddy cop film with very little buddying, Narc stars Jason Patric as a burnt out narc Tellis, suspended for shooting a bystander. Some ...
Pros: The acting, elements of the cinematography and direction, setting Cons: Over-familiarity breeds a minor degree of contempt
Joe Carnahan, whose first film, 1998's Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane, was the nadir of the post-Pulp Fiction Tarantino knock-offs dramatically elevates his game with the solid police procedural Narc. With one film, Carnahan has...
Pros: Liotta and Patric give one of their best career performances Cons: A little too dark and brutal for mass appeal
Narc is the kind of indie movie that really makes you appreciate independent films. It features two familiar actors, Jason Patric and Ray Liotta, and is backed by numerous producers, including Tom Cruise. It is a character-driven drama that is carried...
Pros: Great editing, good acting, mysterious. Cons: "Cliffhanger" ending with no intentions for a sequel.
I only saw Narc because I knew no one else was seeing it. First hearing about it, it just seemed like one of those critically-acclaimed movies that I'd never see. And it might as well have just been that- this movie hasn't really affected the future of ...
Pros: acting, directing, story Cons: climax weaker than set-up
Narc is a fast-paced, in your face thriller that delivers on refreshing levels. It is a unique movie of a genre that is anything but. It's a cold film that's often gritty and brutal, but not as abrasive as some of the more depressing dramas...
Pros: A well done bad cop/good cop flick Cons: Parts might be too intense for some
Sometimes, people seem to say bad things about Ray Liotta and his acting ability. However, in his latest film, "Narc", Liotta silences the critics and performs one of his best roles yet.
Liotta plays that part of Detective Henry Oaks, a...
Pros: Liotta, Patric, good writing Cons: Editing gets a little too flashy at times
While it sounds like a cliché, every cop goes to work with the knowledge that this could be The day - they could get shot pulling over a speeder, stabbed responding to a domestic dispute or killed in a high speed chase. Consequently nothing...
Pros: Ray Liotta gives a towering performance. Jason Patric is quite fine too. Cons: Character development far outpaces plot development. This may displease some viewers.
NARC isn't really a PLEASANT movie to watch. It's about a lot of angry, messed-up people spending a lot of time sweating and under stress. It's set in wintry Detroit, and the film has been processed so that all the exterior shots are tinted in blue, ...
Pros: Unique camera work, phenomenal acting, mesmerizing musical score, some plot twists Cons: Scenes of violence & drug use may disturb some, a few spots of predictability
Narc, a raw urban police drama, is in my opinion an astounding film that was seriously overlooked by audiences & did not receive its due credit. Writer/director Joe Carnahan has given us one of the most edgy, daring & affecting police ...
Pros: Ray Liotta and Jason Patric both give very good performances. Narc is very realistic. Cons: Middle is very slow and tedious. Ending leaves two major questions unanswered.
Synopsis - Narc deserves 2 and 1/2 out of 4 stars for several reasons. It is an above average police drama with very good acting and an intense climax. It is a very dark, depressing, gritty, and possibly tragic tale....
Pros: Jason Patric, Jason Patric, Ray Liotta, oh, and Jason Patric!!! Cons: The flashy editing is hopeless.
Narc will get under your skin. You dont have a say in the matter. From the bouncing camera, stomach twisting chase that is the get go, this film defines gritty. Jason Patrics moustache alone holds more urban grit than any average inner city cop...
