Patric has been down this road before too, in "Rush," as a narc who succumbs to addiction PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested R â€â€? Restricted You feel Carnahan's passion for the material in the brutal momentum of his storytelling If you can't stomach it, "Narc" is not for you NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted Carnahan gets his arty flourishes out of the way early, knowing that once the investigation picks up steam, the best thing he can do is stay out of the way With leads in the case drying up, desperate police officials turn to Nick, baiting him with the cushy job of his choice if he consults on the murder investigation Running time: 107 minutes Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Here, the specter of past drug use haunts Tellis, and his wife, adding another layer of danger to his return to active duty (When we meet him, he's pummeling a handcuffed suspect with a billiard ball inside a sock But among the steely of constitution â€â€? those who don't mind violence and bleakness as long as they serve a story worth telling â€â€? this one's going to be talked about "Narc," a Paramount Pictures release, is rated R for strong, brutal violence, drug content and pervasive language While arguing persuasively that investigating a comrade's death brings out the worst in police officers, Carnahan remains sympathetic to law enforcement "Narc" is small, smart and â€â€? well, it's still loud The question is whether to believe him By the final act, the movie feels as if it's directing itself Carnahan shows us Liotta's explosiveness right away, then applies it to a dedicated, grief-stricken cop who says all he's after is justice Since Liotta's breakthrough role in "Something Wild," he has made a living playing psychos, villains and ordinary men driven to violent extremes "Narc" is the little cop movie that could PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Some material may be inappropriate for young children It defies the formula that's governed cop movies for the last 20 years or so: Two partners, one straight man and one live wire, trading barbs and jibes, breaking the rules, exasperating their superiors and hauling in the bad guys in spectacular fashion Despite Liotta's looming presence, this is Patric's movie, and he carries it with wisdom, confidence and intensity The pressure grows for Tellis as he blasphemously suggests that the dead cop may not have been a saint or a martyr Three and a half stars out of four With the paunch he packed on for this film and thick goatee, he's beefy and frightening Nick, who's been using drugs to maintain his cover, shoots a pregnant woman, who subsequently loses her baby Taste the blood Some material may not be suitable for children â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences He understands both the damage bullets can do to bodies and the toll police work takes on family life ) In the conflict between Tellis and Oak, "Narc" dramatizes the difficulty of getting to the truth when the circumstances surrounding a policeman's death are in doubt As the case inches forward, Carnahan creates a mood of gloomy foreboding, with a few stylistic nods to Steven Soderbergh â€â€? the stark, blue-tinged cinematography that also gave Detroit a steely chill in "Out of Sight," and a tremulous, nearly tuneless score from Soderbergh's regular composer, Cliff Martinez Feel the sting In turning for his inspiration to cop movies of the '70s, such as "The French Connection" and "Serpico," 32-year-old writer-director Joe Carnahan turns the recent formula on its ear Set in Detroit, the movie opens with undercover narcotics officer Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) chasing down a suspected dealer Nick quickly realizes that if he's going to get anywhere, he'll have to work with Lt At the Movies: 'Narc' Dec 20, 10:37 AM EST Amid the spectacle and sentimentality that overwhelm the multiplexes every holiday season, the gaudy prestige pictures meant to win over audiences and Oscar voters alike, "Narc" arrives like a piece of cold steel smacked against your unsuspecting temple Eighteen months later, the furor over Nick's actions has been replaced by another outrage: the unsolved slaying of another undercover narc The audience has a history with him; we love watching him tick, knowing he'll explode eventually If anything, Liotta has grown more menacing with age; his once piercing blue eyes are duller, more sinister It's a genre film, and a harrowing one, made with the confidence of a born filmmaker Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), the slain officer's former partner, who has been pulled off the case because of his volatility The young director has done his homework; he trades brilliantly on the cinematic past of his stars The aesthetic: big, dumb and loud All ages admitted Taken on its own terms, it's nearly perfect The company also co-produced Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List," which won the 1993 Academy Award for best picture Prosecutors had pressed charges of influence peddling, claiming Rywin acted on behalf of Miller and political power brokers when he made the alleged offer, which was revealed by Gazeta Wyborcza Rywin's Heritage Films co-produced Roman Polanski's "The Pianist, which last year won three Academy Awards last year, including an Oscar for best director Polish Film Producer Rywin Guilty of Fraud Apr 26, 9:11 AM EST Lew Rywin, the Polish co-producer of the Oscar-winning "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist," was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Monday in a bribery scandal Rywin remained free pending an expected appeal of the Warsaw provincial court's verdict, which also included a $24,830 fine Rywin has denied the charges, claiming he was set up by Agora, and his lawyers said they planned to appeal Monday's verdict The court ruled that the 58-year-old producer falsely claimed he represented Prime Minister Leszek Miller when he allegedly sought a $17 Judge Ewa Grochowska-Szmitkows ka, another of the judges, told Rywin that his name "has become a symbol of corruption and scandal," undermining public trust in the government and harming Poland's reputation before it joins the European Union on May 1 The scandal led to Rywin's five-month trial and an investigation by parliament Prosecutors had demanded a three-year jail sentence for Rywin and a fine of $62,500 The prosecution's main piece of evidence against Rywin was a poor-quality audio recording made by Michnik in which Rywin is heard making his proposal " He "misled them because he claimed against the facts that he represented Miller and a group holding power," Celej said Miller, who testified at the trial, vehemently denied any involvement His offer in exchange to lobby for changes to a proposed media law that would enable Agora to buy a nationwide broadcaster also was a misrepresentation, the three-judge panel ruled Standing in court, Rywin shook his head and smiled as the details of the verdict were read by the judges 5 million bribe from Agora SA, publisher of the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper, in 2002 Presenting the verdict, Judge Marek Celej said the court had concluded that Rywin approached Agora president Wanda Rapaczynska and Gazeta Wyborcza editor Adam Michnik "in order to achieve financial gain Neither managed to shed much light on what happened, but they generated speculation about corruption in high places and cost Miller and his governing Democratic Left Alliance party public support |
