Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
kevin-sberg First off I would like to say what a hell of a movie and story plot. Second for anyone who craves all them great movies like menace 2 society, Boyz in the hood, Juice, Training day.... Will love this movie. I will start of by saying LL Cool J is a very legit gangster and drug lord. Second off i knew Omar Epps was a very talented actor... But I never knew he was this talented! This movie starts of really slow but the realism starts right at the beginning. I don't really wanna say much there is no spoilers on this its just a review for people who still have not watch this masterpiece! Pretty much this is all i gotta say for the most part! I mean i know this is not too helpful its my first review so I'm sorry if I'm rough around the edges ill get better as i go along... its just one of them movies that is worth writing about and reviewing. If I have wasted anyones time I'm very sorry in every way!
Hang_All_Drunkdrivers Omar Epps plays an undercover cop trying to catch a drug lord played by LL Cool J. He wins the trust of the drug lord and that's when the trouble starts as he gets in too deep and starts identifying with the crooks. Both the leads are great especially Cool J who plays his bad guy character as an intelligent reasonable guy who can nevertheless be extremely vicious when he has to be.Two complaints. This movie is almost entirely black people and they all talk with that Hollywood jive talk and it just sounds unnatural to me. Lots of "is you cool with that, bro?" and "get that outta my face, bitch". Do blacks really talk like that all the time? Another problem is the hero cop has a girl friend and the movie spends lots of time on that silly romance even though it has nothing to do with the real story.
tvcolbert This movie delves deeply into the mind state and life of an undercover police officer. This movie can be compared to other movies such as; The Donnie Brasco Story, and Deep Cover. This movie did a great job at showing the painful side of being an undercover police agent. In Too Deep is a great action-packed movie with a resounding punch. The acting was great, from the actors who played as the main characters to the supporting actors and actresses. I give thumb ups to Omar Epps, L.L. Cool J. and Nia Long for a job well done.
JUVENILE This movie is excellent. It has everything; lovable characters, crude humor, brief nudity, popular actors, well-written story, a ruthless but nice crimelord who calls himself "GOD". Omar Epps plays Cole, an undercover cop who goes "in too deep" to stop God. At first he suspects he's a cop but after certain encounters with God's enimes; Cole proves himself. He takes it to far sometimes, then his boss stops him from undercover work but he quickly put back in. There nasty but funny scenes n this movie such as: God cutting off the tongue of 1 of his enimes, then another, he shoves a pool stick in his butt. Defenitely a "must-see" film. Although the ending is not expected but nonetheless go see it!
