A natural successor to the violent thrillers of the 70s, director Joe Carnahan's breakthrough Narc brings the genre screaming into a new era, setting the standard for the modern cop drama with its gritty, unrelenting tone and style. In wintry Detroit, narcotics cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric, The Lost Boys) is recovering from an undercover operation gone wrong. In the hopes of being assigned a quiet desk job, he agrees to return to active duty and partner up with Detective Henry Oak (Ray Liotta, Goodfellas) to investigate the apparent murder of Oak's former partner. As both men become lost in the depths of the case, boundaries become blurred, and their relationship begins to vacillate between intensely personal and unsettlingly suspicious. One of the best crime films of the 21st century, Narc is back in an intense new filmmaker-approved 4K remaster, with brutally immersive Atmos audio, and featuring hours of previously unreleased on-set interviews and brand-new bonus features.

Press Quotes

This compulsively watchable police thriller comes on like gangbusters... ballsy director Joe Carnahan -- a real find -- gives the scene the breathless urgency of something out of The French Connection. Patric has his best role in years. And Ray Liotta -- firing on all cylinders -- is surefire Oscar bait

     —Pete Travers, Rolling Stone

[Patric & Liotta] do not fit the usual pattern of cop partners in the movies. Either of them could be the lead. Writer-director, Joe Carnahan, brings a rough, aggressive energy to the picture [&] the ending is a neat and ironic exercise in poetic justice

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Joe Carnahan has made a believable, fleshed-out film where men's worst impulses lead to their ruin. ''Narc'' is convincing, an entertaining, grimy view of the traps of machismo tucked inside a cop thriller

     —Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times

Never knowing exactly how out of control he is gives NARC a palpable current of tension. Liotta's goateed wolverine isn't a sociopathic caricature; Carnahan gives him moments of lucidity and reason that make good on the promise of '70s-style realism

     —Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

Carnahan has reinvigorated the genre with a stroke-inducing shot of adrenaline, he's retained 70's-era filmmaking icon generosity with his actors, resulting in a pair of lead performances from Patric & Liotta that rank among the best work of their careers

     —Moriarty, Ain't It Cool News

Narc still stands as one of the most exciting movie-going experiences. Now Arrow Video resurrects this thrilling piece of Detroitsploitation to 4K UHD and it’s glorious.
