Review of Narc (2002) by Songeehn C — 09 Feb 2012

Narc is one of the best cop flicks ever made, up there with french conection, dirty harry and serpico, it's a truly rough and hard film from the start, opening with a ferocious, violent footchase, and taking us through a really grim, grey world, it's a tough and often unpleasant watch but it's directed and acted with such energy and skill it just grips you the whole way, jason patrick is amazing as a haunted cop whose days under cover as a narc and one terrible mistake have taken a huge toll on his mind, but ray liotta is the man of the movie, in his best role yet as the brutal yet honourable LT.

henry oak, it's a true powrhouse performance and much like the movie it should have bagged an oscar.
