 2/5 |
The worst offence committed is a waste of talents in casting powerhouse players Tucci and Grier in stereotype 'other cop' roles. Full Review |
||
 4/5 |
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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

1/5 |
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. Full Review |

Competent yet largely forgettable. Full Review |

3/5 |
Not everyone can deal with this level of violence. Full Review |

This rude knockoff of Donnie Brasco has little of the raw, forlorn humanity that made that film a standout. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
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. Full Review |
