Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

Jittery camera moves and a grey-blue palette make it clear that Narc is a gritty police drama in the tradition of The French Connection and Serpico. Jason Patric plays Nick Tellis, a former undercover cop with an accidental death on his conscience, which may be why he's agreed to partner with Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), a lieutenant determined to track down the killers of his former partner. This could all be rote, but the grit sticks: writer-director Joe Carnahan takes a huge leap forward from his Tarentino-wannabe first film, Blood, Guts, Bullets & Octane. The entire cast is excellent; Patric and Liotta give rich, textured performances that make their respective obsessions vivid and sad. Narc could use more of the dark humour that occasionally bursts out, but the movie's drive and energy make it more than a bleak tale of good intentions gone bad. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

After a spell away from the police force, when a drugs bust went wrong, Detroit undercover cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) is persuaded back to help uncover the murderers of a fellow officer. He is teamed up with the dead officer's partner, Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), who seems to work on his own violent agenda. As the duo become more involved in the complex trail to the murderers, they find their lives are being ruled by the crime; Tellis begins to ignore his wife and newborn baby, and Oak becomes even more volatile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favour: watch this movie 12 July 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I am a big fan of Ray Liotta, and found Jason Patric giving an honourable performance in Sleepers. I missed the big screen release and so purchased this film on dvd, not to sure it would be worth the money i paid for it... And i was wrong. I watched Narc twice, and "enjoyed" it even more the second time. The cast performance is simply superb, and the story gripping from start to finish, and you just feel compelled to watch the progression of the investigation led by these two cops brought together for all sorts of wrong reasons until its bitter and disturbing end... Put simply, easily one of the top 5 best cop movie ever made...

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good movie 21 Jan 2010
Format:DVD
I would say Narc is a very underrated movie, it is similar to the Shield in it's style of direction and presentation. It has a very realistic feel to it and is very entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a film in a year of let downs - NARC 1 Sep 2003
Format:DVD
This is a little gem of a film thats just come out on DVD. Its a relatively low budget film of the type that relies on its plot and shooting to produce a fantastic film.

Its stars Jason Patric as a former Narcotics detective (Nick Tellis) whos career came to an abrupt end but now, brought back to work because of his contacts worked up as his 2 years as a NARC detective. He teams up with Henry Oak (Ray Liotta) to solve the death of if Micheal Calvess "a rookie cop killed under mysterious circumstances".

Liottas character Oak is played so well as the renegade cop who goes against the rule book and will stop at nothing to avenge his friends death (had a few of those before haven’t we?).

The plot develops over the 101 minutes of this film with some twists that you can see coming if you follow the clues through out the film. These are presented in a in your face way as Tellis discovers them, its up to you notice them and fit them together. Its not the kinda of 'oh my god how did I miss that' sixth sense twist but good none the less.

Looking through the credits I couldn't help but notice Tom Cruise is the Executive Producer and its a Cruise/Wagner film.

Written and directed by Joe Carnahan, watch out for more films by this guy if this ones anything to go by.
