Narc (2002)

Narc: Directed by Joe Carnahan. With Dan Leis, Jason Patric, Lloyd Adams, Meagan Issa. When the trail goes cold on a murder investigation of a policeman an undercover narcotics officer is lured back to the force to help solve the case.

“Gritty, hard-edged police thriller from writer-director Joe Carnahan. Held responsible for for a deadly bust that went awry, dedicated, veteran Detroit narcotics officer (and family man) Patric is reinstated by Internal Affairs on the condition that he aid hotheaded renegade lieutenant Liotta in the investigation of a slain officer whose story doesnu0026#39;t seem to add up. A gripping, in-depth, and vividly atmospheric look at the notoriously brutal drug underworld and realm of police corruption. A solid genre film with a sturdy, poised performance from Patric, and an aggressive, forceful performance from Liotta. Plot gets overly convoluted at times but it still entertains. ***”
