The worst offence committed is a waste of talents in casting powerhouse players Tucci and Grier in stereotype 'other cop' roles.

Top CriticGood actors can always rise above the cliches surrounding them. Such is the case with Omar Epps and LL Cool J who deliver punchy, perceptive performances.

So uneven it’s downright schizophrenic.

In its exploration of the moral dilemma of the undercover life, In Too Deep breaks no ground. But Epps is a leading man on the rise, and Cool J is something to see.
06/18/02
Although it is based on a true story, the subject matter has been covered too many times to care, and the by-the-book plot plods along to an anti-climatic finish.

Competent yet largely forgettable.
04/05/02
Not everyone can deal with this level of violence.
02/14/01
This rude knockoff of Donnie Brasco has little of the raw, forlorn humanity that made that film a standout.
01/01/00
The only thing 'too deep' about this movie is the apparent lack of respect its creators must have for audiences -- it is literally an insult that such an abysmal failure has made it to market.
01/01/00
In the end, In Too Deep becomes just another bad movie about bad people doing bad things. With none of the glorious fun we used to have watching Pam Grier strut her stuff.
01/01/00
Consistent bad acting.
01/01/00
Some solid acting; a great-looking film.
