Wednesday, January 15, 2003 Caitie and I saw NARC the other day. If you haven't heard of this movie, that's because not much has been said. NARC was an indie film that was picked up by Paramount. Leading roles go to Jason Patric, who does a great job portraying Nick Tellis, an undercover narcotics agent investigating a murdered cops death, and Ray Liotta, playing the dead cops partner, Detective Henry Oak. Director Joe Carnahan depicted a rough ride the gritty Detroit crime scene alongside Tellis and Oak with beautiful, moody camera work. It's artsy cinematography, by no means revolutionary, was at times remenicent of the styles in Fight Club, Snatch, and Requiem for a Dream, though in much lower doses. Also somewhat nostalgic of the old 70's cop shows, NARC adds more emotion and realism to the idea through its strong acting and at times graphic scenes. After I saw it, I went straight online to the movie's official website looking for the script because there were a few funny lines I could not stop thinking about, and I wanted to get them right: "It's almost impossible you're this dumb..." -Detective Henry Oak [Ray Liotta] "You can act like a punk, you gonna get played like one... Now, listen very, very carefully... You don't have the chemistry, or the sense God gave goats, which means, you didn't do the coke... No doubt it's dead so... Who sold to you?" -Nick Tellis [Jason Patric] So, I shall end on this note and tell you all to see it. See it. posted by Shannon | 6:01 PM |
