REVIEW:

Shadows fell against the gold. All that mattered was the line between right and wrong, and all that existed was black and blue. The glint of silver would deliver justice, silence the hand of crime, and close the book on this case once and for all.

Life was a stage, and we all have our parts to play. But the borders to our roles could so easily blur, and then our safety net falls away. And we wander in-between who we are, and some get lost on the way. And if we make it back to the lives left behind, do we really want to face the consequences of our actions, mistakes that ripped our world apart?

The rain fell heavily over a dark tunnel, and death remained in darkness. Echoes of a broken life reached out toward shadowed streets, and crimson water quietly slipped away. And questions would lead to a dead-end, but blame had to fall on somebody. And the light of truth waited to be found.

Blackness fell around him. A scream for help shattered life, and gunfire echoes across the distance. And the bad guy falls but not without claiming innocence, and consequences fall hard against the one holding the trigger.

Months later, Nick Tellis found himself before a panel, reopening the chapter of what took place that day, but their real purpose was for him to return to the line of duty. But what they failed to tell him was that their request to solve the mystery surrounding one slain police officer's death came with intricate strings attached, and the questions asked would come with a heavy price. And all he had to do was to say no, but he found himself unable to walk away.

Their lives were parallel, but his life derailed before he reached his point of no return. But the death of one police officer could have become his own, and the family left behind, picking up a shattered existence reflects that of his own family. But he can't let go, and as he plunges further into the surrounding mystery of one's death does he find himself struggling with his own actions. And as he pulls at straws, struggling to answer unanswered questions does the pieces of his world fall away, but he won't give in. An answer was close to being found, but was he ready for the truth that waited for him?

We all have a role to play, and there are no shades of gray. There is right and wrong, black and blue, but sometimes, we get lost in-between. Sometimes, we break the rules to serve justice, protect lives, and do what we have to do, but every action bears consequence. And in the end, there is no escaping what we have done.

The conflict of life erupts into a chase through the heart of mystery. Twists and turns bring us face to face with the depth, conflict of two characters struggling with their actions and holding on to a world that slips away. Questions raised over an

open case, the death of a slain police officer grips us tighter as doors slam open, gunfire erupts, and confessions lead to the shocking truth. And the conflict of life, the blur between right and wrong is delivered in this tale of drama and suspense in a riveting storyline, and actors Jason Patric and Ray Liotta soar as characters divided, conflicted, and gripping. And as the chase through mystery comes to an end do we find ourselves standing in shades of gray, the space between right and wrong in this powerful motion picture, Narc.
