Hey folks, Harry here with a look at NARC, we've had a couple of reviews of this so far and everyone seems to love it. Can't wait to see this one for myself. Here ya go....
Hey there, Martin here. First time contibutor. I saw a screening of the film "Narc" last night in Hollywood. Jason Patric and Ray Liotta star. This has got to be one of the better cop movies I've seen in a while.
The Story: An undercover narcotics officer is killed, his partner (Ray Liotta) is no longer allowed to investigate. In comes Jason Patric, he's a narc as well, his wife wants him behind a desk and so does he. He's offered the case and he takes it due to if he finds the murderer he gets his desk position.
Performances: I'm not sure what rock Jason Patric crawled out from underneath, but he was excellent as the by the book cop. One of his better performances I've seen. (Maybe he's making up for that schlock which was "Speed 2"). Ray Liotta is awsome as usual. He's put on a bit of weight but he's still really good as the kind of crooked cop that will do anything for his best friend/partner.
There's a lot of action and a lot of violence. Which is great. A great scene of a drug addict who's wife gave him some sort of STD, and he takes a hit to cover the pain while he's being interrogated by the cops. You'd have to see it to see the humor.
This apparently was the first test screening of "Narc". There were a few things they could cut back on. One too many flash backs. We got it after the fourth time around.
Other than that this film rocks.
Later.
Martin
