Yeah, it looks great. I wanna see it really bad, but I also wanna see Gangs Of New York. Of course, lack of money has prevented from from seeing a movie at the theaters in YEARS.
I saw the trailer for the movie and the plot seems so obvious one cop loses his partner and seeks revenge on the perps who did it. He breaks all the rules to avenge his partner's death or is corrupt himself and brings in a new rookie who has a conscience. Which in the end the rookie brings him down or shoots and kills him in self defense.
Am I close to being right? (without spoiling it for me and others)
You're close, that's all I'll say. I thought it was a decent movie because I love Ray Liotta, but there could have been some changes made. It was good, but not ridiculously great.
I REALLY wanted to see this when it came out in the UK, but nowhere was showing it except one cinema which put it on at 11.50pm for ONE WEEKEND and then dropped it. I was gutted!
Can't wait for the DVD release of it.
(Sorry that this is so late, i've been having trouble logging on)
By the way, talking of the Rat Pack, what do you think of it? I have taped it tonight, coincidentally.

Same here! Nowhere was showing it here in the UK, at least not "in all theatres near you!"
I've seen NARC. From my point of view... it's a good movie, with couple of violent scenes... nothing we can't handle NARC is a hard and cold movie about Detroit narcotics detectives.
I just rented it today and watched it (I was the first person to rent it at my local BlockBuster ), and I must say I really liked it. I liked the direction (it reminded me of 'The French Connection), and I thought Liotta gave a great performance, worthy of an oscar nomination. It also had a " double " twist in the end. Check it out.

I must see this!!!! Omar, all you needed to say was that the directing was like that of TFC, and liking it would have been inevitable without saying so, right!?
I picked up NARC yesterday(tuesday)and watched it this morning,this movie KICKS ASS!!!! I didnt go to see it at the theater just because I rarely go to the movies,I'd rather just watch them at my house. Ray Liota and Jason Patrick work well together. It's one of the best movies that I've seen in a while.
NARC is a good movie, and its unique in retrospect that the filmmakers of NARC actually ran out of their allocated budget, and the crew was ready to leave unless they were paid(which as I just said the producers ran out of money) but the director, Carnahan, convinced them to stay somehow and was able to finish the picture.
But the real question is....whats the better corrupt cop-revenge flick.......NARC or the 80's classic, William Friedkin's TO LIVE & DIE IN LA?
I would hardly call "To Live and Die in LA" a classic by any meaning. Mediocre cop movie. Only watch this if you like Willem Dafoe because his scenes are gold.
