Narc is a police thriller from 2002 starring Jason Patric and Ray Liotta. Made on a shoe string budget this film feels gritty and "street", with lots of hand held camera shots and tells the story of the investigation into the death of an undercover police officer. Ray Liotta gives a strong commanding performance while the often unfairly maligned Jason Patric gives a great performance as an officer looking for redemption for past events. At just over 90 minutes long the film moves along at a good pace and is never dull. The only slight criticism would be that at times the plot is a little hard to follow, but this does not detract from the impact the final twist provides. I feel Narc is a long forgotten film and that in a way is a shame. It truly is a film worth revisiting and i was surprised at how fresh it felt as i have not seen it for many years. Narc is a film i can highly recommend.
