Narc is a very well done and realistic police drama. 3/4 of the film works extremely well and the acting is absolutely incredible. Ray Liota gives his best performance since GoodFellas and probably his best ever. Jason Patric is equally impressive... Full review

Narc plays like an ordinary cop drama that appears weekly on televisionnot a horrible project, but not one that demands heading to the theater and paying premium prices for.
Although most of Liotta's prime moments are spent intensely shouting or coming off as the experienced street cop, he has a few private moments sitting with new partner Patric poignantly reminiscing his initial dreams and goals when he began his career.

Part of the fun of watching Narc (writer/director Joe Carnahan's debut film) is watching all of these pieces fall into place.
