Movie Review: One of the most overlooked films made durring the year
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the most overlooked films released durring the year.If it wasn't for Tom Cruise having an interest in it,it probably never would have been released more than it was,or got the publicity it did....and would have just faded away.I've always been a Ray Liota fan,and he is fantastic in this film.Both he&Jason Patric have a great onscreen chemestry.The script was well thought out&written all the way down to the screenplay itself.Narc is an excellent cop/conspiracy dramma.The good cop/bad cop,and Jason Patric's character driven to find out the truth of what really happened.The story grabs you from the begining and spirals darkly to the end.There is no glamorizing of drug use in this film despite the title,if anything it illustraits what it does to someone and to families.I could'nt reccomend this film more.You won't be getting any happy,warm,fuzzy endings here...it is raw throughout and cuts to the bone at the end...this film should have been nominated for an Oscar.Movie Review: woah mama
Summary: 5 Stars
To call this movie realistic is an understatement, because while your watching it, this movie is real. The directing style is one never before seen in modern day, hollywood cinema, at least not in a way that is presented here. Joe Carnahan makes every noise, every detail matter, so that, for example when they are driving a car and tellis is talking on his cell phone, you can hear the outside noises, the car wheels against the pavement, the hum of the engine, at the exact same level and intensity as you would in real life. Thats this movies real strength; the spellbinding ability to craft scenes that are dramatic in a passerby sense; no music, no structured dialouge, lots of other noise. The performances are also excellent, and the several plot twists that this movie offers at the end will keep you on the edge of your seat. It doesnt even matter that the actual plot is generally run-of-the mill. In Narc, its not what is said, but how its said.Movie Review: gritty cop flicks
Summary: 5 Stars
NARC is not an action movie as its promotional items might be leading on. It's a powerful, gritty , supremely acted piece of cop fiction that pulled me into its violent, undercover, mystery world, punched me along with several of the "perps" from the film itself and dropped me off with a thought-provoking finish and plenty of questions to ponder afterwards. It's basically a character-driven movie, not action oriented It's also a little "slow" for those unaccustomed to developed characters and family backgrounds, but I loved it all. I guess that could also be due to my love of "gritty" films in general though. In fact, one of the reasons that I love watching movies so much is that they represent worlds in which I will likely never find myself
This film features a well-established milieu, convincing actors, a dense story which leads you deeper and deeper into the world of an undercover police officer
Movie Review: Fantastic Film
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who enjoy dark crime & cop stories, this one is a must own. There are some scenes that are difficult to watch as the violence is uncensored. On the whole, I was riveted by this film. Ray Liotta turns in probably the best performance of his career better even than his go in Good Fella's in my opinion. Jason Patrick is also a very talented actor that adds significantly to the story. The direction is non traditional, and the set design and coloring is dark and slightly haunting. The action and dialogue are non stop from the very opening frame which will immediately grab you and not let go until the film is over.
It's not for everyone due to the violent nature of the subject matter, there are a few scenes that are definitely hard to watch for that reason. But if you don't mind this or can get past it, and you enjoy gritty, dark, and haunting crime stories with outstanding acting then you'll enjoy this.
Movie Review: DARK DISTURBING EXCELLENT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
Jason Patric and Ray Liotta give the performances of their careers in this gritty, brutal and disturbing cop thriller. Patric plays Nick Telles, a suspended cop who is asked to help loose cannon Liotta find the people responsible for the killing of Liotta's undercover partner.
Unlike many other films of this nature, NARC spares no one in its unrelenting drive to locate the murderers. Joe Carnahan directs with a ferocity rare in major studio films, and elicits tremendous performances from the entire cast. Busta Rhymes in the last section of the movie surprised me with his harsh and effective performance. The language is rough, the violence is unnerving, and the overall atmosphere is so electrically charged, I felt uncomfortable with its realism.
Brilliant movie, overlooked by many. Highly recommended.
