Reviews for In Too Deep

01/01/00
Deep was scripted from true police accounts, but it consistently fails to evoke any real sense of danger.
01/01/00
Comes off as a simplistic morality tale rife with moments requiring forehead-slapping suspension of disbelief and precious little in the way of overt tension.
01/01/00
In Too Deep isn't necessarily a bad film, just an average one.

Sharp performances.

In Too Deep tells a conventional and predictable undercover story that requires frequent suspension of disbelief.

While the film has some interesting shifts in pace, mood and structure, it has nothing new or interesting to say.
01/01/00
Fascinating but difficult to watch.
01/01/00
Too Shallow!
01/01/00
Dull and pointless!
