WOW!!! Patric, Liotta and Busta OUTSTANDING performances. Saw this movie a while ago and must say that it must have been a "sleeper" hit because I don't remember it getting any commercial play nor very much trailer exposure at the Theaters. I can say one thing I sure am glad that Tom Cruise saw this at Sundance or whatever Film Festival he saw it and decided to back it because it may have been one of those that went str8 to video after 1 month on the big screen which is a shame because I believe many will miss the opportunity to catch this gripping drama. The previous reviews does so much justice to the plot that I won't even go into a lengthy description. Ray Liotta is compelling in his INTENSE good-yet-Hard A$$-cop potrayal(nuff said... want to know more rent the movie), Jason Patric has always been one of the most underrated actors of "my" time he does a Superb job as a Cop dealing with his own demons and the slow realization that there is more to this investigation than is on paper, Chi McBride has a minimal role but always love to see his acting last but not least Busta Rhymes.... I am so impressed by his increased acting roles and the growth he has shown (you go boiiiiiiii - circa Flava Flav) LOL The story/plot is engrossing yes, the plot sounds familiar but TRUST me this is not the same ole scenario, same ole outcome. It has some scenes of violence that may disturb some. The Movie shows some day-to-day injustice that exists out there but is allowed as well as the ever problematic dual NARC life (just take enough to get them to trust you get you in...... YEA... RIGHT!!) Location was in Detroit very dark, gritty some of the scenes are shot with the "running camera" effect which I sometimes get motion sickness LOL but it goes with the flow of the movie, also some of the scenes were played like a comic book set-up (without the cartoon images) but in the "4-scenes-on-the-screen" look. Everything pulled together effectively. If you liked "Rush" you should enjoy this. Respectfully ReviewedRead full review
I love the action in this movie along with the drama it includes. The cast is awesome, which includes: Ray Liotta, Jason Patric, Busta Rhymes & Chi McBride. There's some comedy in the movie, when a junkie was too lazy to pick up his bong while he was in the bathtub so he smoked a shotgun with drugs inside, which lead to him getting shot since it was loaded and was heated up. That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. And the dumbest. I like all the action in the film, including Liotta with a shotgun. I also like the drama that comes with his former partner having been shot (supposedly by two thugs/punks over drugs, which you find out isn't the case later on). There's also the possibility that Liotta shot his former partner, which isn't the truth either. The truth is a huge surprise but it makes sense why the Narc cop wanted to place the reason for his partner's death on a couple guys who didn't kill him in order to relieve himself of the trauma he endured when his partner died in front of him. I saw on a website someone compared Narc to Training Day, and since I saw that I think I'd like to see Training Day sometime soon to see if there's some similarity between the two. I recommend this film to anyone who likes cop films, drama, interesting scenarios, and is a fan of Ray Liotta (which I am).Read full review
