      Variety

      A darkly textured, powerfully suspenseful genre piece.

      The New York Times

      Narc is convincing, an entertaining, grimy view of the traps of machismo tucked inside a cop thriller.
    • 80

      L.A. Weekly

      Taut and well-acted, faltering only when the filmmaker loses faith in the power of his story.

      USA Today

      This may be the most uncompromisingly raw police drama since "Across 110th Street," starring Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto.

      Chicago Tribune

      With such skilled filmmaking and committed acting on display, Narc is far more a score than a bust.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      As the most diabolically focused and politically incorrect cop this side of Popeye Doyle, Liotta is a hot prospect for this year's supporting-actor Oscar.

      Portland Oregonian

      Beneath its frantic surfaces, Narc is terribly ordinary, built on a mystery that will puzzle only those who have never watched a TV cop drama.

      Some might find the whole thing exhilarating, but exhausting is more the word that comes to this man's mind.
