Probably the best movie of 2002 that nobody actually saw. A hard-hitting, realistic look at the undercover police world with a bitter taste of the cases that they work. Jason Patric and Ray Liotia play the parts of two Detroit police offers tasked with bringing the killers of a fellow undercover officer to justice. Dark, gritty and overwhelming, Narc doesn't sugarcoat law enforcement but somehow keeps the experience real without turning the opinion of the viewer against the officers, who often bend the rules as far as they can without going over the edge. Excellent drama, along with some very realistic dialog and some top-notch acting brings this title to the forefront of its niche. I guarantee you won't figure out "who done it" until the very end. Definitely not a date night movie, or something to watch while the kids are around, but something perfect for a rainy afternoon flick with the guys.

Really solid and dark gritty crime drama featuring great performances from both Ray Liotta and Jason Patric. Probably a bit overlooked film from Joe Carnahan but I really found it engrossing. This was only my second viewing, last time was the DVD from circa 2003 and finally re-watched thanks to the Arrow Films 4K release. 4.25/5
