An aggressive chase and a stray bullet nearly ends the career of undercover narcotics agent Nick Tellis (Jason Patrick) whose job is tearing apart his life and his family. Tellis dreams of working a less stressful desk job, and he knows that a conviction in an upcoming case will land him the job. So he accepts an assignment assisting the overlong investigation of a slain officer, hoping it will be his last experience of street work. Tellis is partnered with Lt. Henry Oak (Ray Liotta) whose unorthodox methods are part of the reason the case is still unsolved. Strict attention to police procedure and cop lingo lift writer-director Joe Carnahan's (BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS AND OCTANE) gritty, violent film above the cliches of the typical police thriller.

Reviews
USA Today - ...Cinematographer Alex Nepomniaschy, sometimes using hand-held shots, establishes a jittery tone that works..., Sight and Sound - ...An impressively edgy piece of genre film-making....One of Carnahan's achievements is to maintain a persuasively dark vision throughout..., Total Film - ...It works and is backed up by a skintight plot, a snappy script and a duo of brilliant performances....It's a two-man show and Liotta and Patric form a praiseworthy double act..., Entertainment Weekly - ...The characters, and Carnahan's shades-of-gray FRENCH CONNECTION-style action, inspire the actors -- they play off one another with blazing skill..., New York Times - ...A believable, fleshed-out film....NARC is convincing, an entertaining, grimy view of the traps of machismo tucked inside a cop thriller...

Strict attention to police procedure and cop lingo lift writer-director Joe Carnahan's (BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS AND OCTANE) gritty, violent film above the cliches of the typical police thriller. NARC is fueled by impassioned performances from leads Patrick, a wary officer who seeks the truth as a means to his own psychological redemption; and Liotta (who also produced), as a broken cop with sadistic, rule-breaking tendencies. The film's grimy immediacy is to the credit of cinematographer Alex Nepomniaschy.

Narc? Dark!
The excellent hand-held opening sequence sets the tone of this dark cop thriller from writer/director Joe Carnahan (later to be asked to direct Mission Impossible 3 by Narc executive producer Tom Cruise). Suspended narcotics cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patrick) is persuaded to return to active duty to investigate the murder of another undercover narc officer, and is teamed up with Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), the dead cops ex partner and a bit of a maverick nut job, and yes, Liotta does the buisness! This is a great thriller, realistic and gritty with fine performances and some nice twists. Both lead actors at one point were working for free because they liked the movie and the director enough to commit totally to the project which was financially unstable, and the commitment shows. However, this is a pretty dark and depressing exploration of the underbelly of drug policing and at times is quite harrowing so be warned if that's not your cup of tea! It should be noted that the dvd extras give a good insight into the attention to detail and design, for example in when Oak loses his temper with Tellis the background in the different shots of the actors visually reflect their mood. Good stuff.Read full review
