Narc (2002)

Narc is a aggressive, intense, cop drama. It's mostly notable for the fine performances by both Jason Patric and Ray Liotta. Both actors are at the top of their game with Liotta getting to display a great range while Patric gives a very nuanced performance. This movie is not for the squeamish as it's very violent and foul mouthed.

Director Joe Carnahan immediatly puts the viewer right into the lives of these guys and never lets us out. The plot is not as straight forward as immediatly thought with a few twists that may not be completely shocking but probably won't be the first thing you think of.

If you like cop movies and have never seen Narc I highly recommend you do so, it's not going to blow you away or reinvent anything it's just a good solid story with great acting.

Rating 4/5
