Demi D @redpoodle Sep 20, 2026 "The Narrows" is pretentious, wanna be, boring, sub mediocre acting. Awful, what a joke. Everyone involved in this movie should be embarrassed. I love this genre - so it really offended me! See more BadNews R @TheMovieSearch Sep 7, 2025 The Narrows is a film that never truly takes off. From start to finish, it feels like you’re watching several different movies stitched together, each competing for attention but never blending into something cohesive. Instead of pulling me in, it left me completely lost—and, more importantly, completely bored. The setup tries to be sophisticated and clever, bouncing between the “neighborhood life” the main character grew up in and the new world he’s exposed to while off at college. On paper, that duality should create tension and depth. In execution, it just feels jumbled and disjointed, never finding its footing or establishing a rhythm. The screenplay is the film’s biggest downfall. The writing drags, stumbles, and circles back on itself to the point where I found myself dozing off—literally. I had to rewind multiple times, hoping it would finally click, but it never did. Instead, it settled into a nonchalant tone that kept the story flat and lifeless. At the end of the day, The Narrows isn’t gripping, it isn’t sharp, and it certainly isn’t entertaining. It’s a slow, unfocused drama that thinks it’s more profound than it actually is, and the result is a forgettable, dragging experience that I wouldn’t recommend. ⭐ Verdict: A dull, disjointed misfire that never earns your attention.

The critics of course hate it because it isnt built on upper middle class tropes. But it is one of the better movies ive ever seen See more Jan 31, 2015 D'Onofrio is my hero! Fantastic actor! See more Oct 30, 2013 As one might expect for a movie about a photographer the cinematography is of a high standard. The stills are especially artsy with lots of feeling and emotion. Sex, smuggling, drugs, cash, fighting and killing and the perfect Italian American free lifestyle comes to the forefront in a brash and hard way with a narrow mind set adding to the stupidity comes across well.
