Among the people who might enjoy this movie are those who like to read a novel, and then see the film made from it. THE NARROWS is based on a Tim McLoughlin novel entitled HEART OF THE OLD COUNTRY. McLoughlin himself is one of six cast and crew members interviewed for more than 90 minutes (!) on the DVD extras. Obviously, another group of folks who may appreciate the flick are those who like to see their entertainment dissected and talked to death (perhaps they do not have lives of their own?).
In addition to the pair of movie-watching types described above, fans of local color may enjoy THE NARROWS. Though I did not find the cast wallowing in the Brooklynese dialect, perhaps the filmmakers decided not to force the rest of the U.S. to view this yarn with subtitles. Furthermore, people curious to find out was a New York City "car service" consists of might be well-advised to check out THE NARROWS.
Finally, fans of Kevin Zegers, Sophia Bush, and Vincent D'Onofrio will find their approach to their craft fully explicated on the aforementioned DVD interview extras. Further, those who have watched Eddie Cahill as Det. Don Flack on CSI: NEW Y0RK the past few seasons will find Cahill's Nicky Shades character in THE NARROWS illuminating, in a kind of haunting way.
