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

Good 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.

In Too Deep doesn’t exactly abound in surprise plot twists. Even so, director Michael Rymer does a satisfying job of infusing the cliches with edgy persuasiveness.

Aaron and Brown's script resounds throughout with astringent dialogue and stark authenticity.
