MOVIE - NARC - REVIEW RATING - $$$$$ $$$ (OUT OF 10)
STARRING: Ray Liotta (Henry Oak), Jason Patric (Nick Tellis), Chi McBride, Busta Rhymes & Richard Chevolleau.
DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER: Joe Carnahan (Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane)
Two cops, one with nothing to lose and the other with everything to lose, confirm the old adage that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Narc is a cop story that pairs a cop with the grittiness of Andy Sipowitz (NYPD Blue) with the integrity of a cop with a Serpico persona. The handwriting is on the wall, so to speak, regarding what the ultimate outcome of such a collaboration will be. Despite this, Narc's handwriting makes for excellent reading along the way.
One of the main reasons why Narc is so compelling is the degree to which the main characters are developed. As with all good morality plays the line between good and bad becomes blurred.
While Narc takes the time to develop its characters it keeps your interest aroused by increasingly cranking up the intensity with action and violence. If you've seen Bloodwork and City By The Sea, two recent cop movies, you will immediately appreciate that Narc is in another, better league.
Narc is a gritty, fresh take on the cop genre that is enjoyable on many levels simultaneously.
