Narc (2002).

Ray Liotta strikes again.

He could never entirely break free of the psycho/gangster/dodgy cop role, but he made the most of what scripts he got. 

As Lt. Henry Oak, he’s a less flashy, more jaded and tortured Alonzo Harris in this relentless thriller. The plot is a bit too convoluted for what is meant to be a slice of realism, but it’s not silly and the style – ‘70s docu-style throwback – works. 

And the opening is quite the shaky cam with a legit purpose.
