NARC is an all-new remake of the 1988 cult arcade classic of the same name, which was the first action/shooter videogame to put players in the middle of the war on drugs. NARC makes a bold statement as a gritty crime drama that offers an intense and thought-provoking view into the seedy world of the war on drugs. Playing as dual characters in the elite NARC squad, Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill, consumers have a seemingly simple choice; they can walk the line or they can cross it.
Assuming the video game personas of Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill, are Michael Madsen (Kill Bill Vol.2, Reservoir Dogs) and Bill Bellamy (Any Given Sunday, Fastlane), two stars well-versed in the interactive entertainment field. Rounding out the ensemble are Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Blade II,) who plays the corrupt Captain Ed Kowalski, and Michael Wincott (The Crow), who gives life to the drug kingpin, Mr. Big.
Eight Rockland police officers are slain by a drug dealer tripping on an unknown substance, during a routine traffic violation turned bloodbath. The DEA sends Dt. Marcus Hill to help in the investigation. Marcus was once part of Rockland’s police force, until two years ago when his partner Jack Forzenski was kicked off the force. Unable to reconcile his deteriorating relationship with Jack, Marcus left for the greener pastures of the DEA. Now he must again work with his old partner (who’s back on the force), and Captain Ed Kowalski, his former boss. Together, they investigate the new mystery drug, untangling a web of lies, betrayals, secrets, and temptations.
