Deep

2004-02-26
This film was DEEP. I have not seen it in a while, but plan to see it again. This movie is when I realized LL Cool J would not be a rapper turned actor that would end up in actors oblivion. This man had me HATING him, and I love me some Cool J. Omar Epps plays a cop who goes undercover, and has to gain the trust of a big drug lord (LL Cool J). The movie kind of reminded me of Deep Cover a little. It had that element of is he still a cop or is he a thug now element. The film is not great, but good enough to keep you interested.

Dark but good.

LL Cool J calls himself god in this movie, and is like the godfather of queensbridge. Its a burden for god cop jamal played by omar epps to catch one of the most recognizable villans of the 90s. Not only was ll one of the most biggest star of the 90s, but his charecter was taken into prespective by critics worldwide. Good movie for action thriller lovers

LL is a GREAT actor

What a 180-degree turn from his role in Deep Blue Sea!
LL showed he had much talent in acting as in Hip-Hop.
His acting here was vivid, energetic and fierce, which made "GOD" scary as hell but at the same time revealed his "family" side...Really GREAT

However, I think the film lost focus when Omar was pulled off his undercover job in the middle. And the ending is somewhat tame and tasteless

omar Epps and ll cool j were great 2002-04-16
this is a really great film, the two actors Epps and Cool j where
great in this film, this is a powerfull film but i dont think its
as good as mennace to society but this is still a great film,
Epps is the only cop that will go deep enough into the case of catching the crime lord of the streets (cool J) known as god, but the only thing is has Epps gone into DEEP and will he ever get out, a must see film

Psychological Thriller 2002-03-26
This movie did a good job of presenting the trials and tribulations of acceptance. I honestly felt bad for the "badguys" at some points in the movie. The drug dealers were like family, but their actions weren't commendable by far. The money and love provided by the "underworlds" were quick fixes for the things the main character seemed to be lacking. It made me really think how easy it could be to get engulfed in the life of crime if the situation presented itself.

should've been a tv episode instead 2007-05-17
Oh please! This is one of the worst movies I've seen. *In Too Deep* is no different then an episode of *Homicide*. Shave off 30 minutes and viola, you got an episode.

However, it was still watchable. J. Reid (Epps) is a rookie cop who goes undercover. His goal is to bring down God (LL Cool J) and his "angels". By doing this, he performs the biggest drug bust ever.

However, what ruined the whole thing was that J. Reid was repeatedly asked if he was a cop. J. Reid never once answered this question. God and his gang just let him join. Oh please!

I know! I know! Suspension of disbelief. But still! It wasn't working for me.

Toya's Review 2007-03-23
This is my all time favorite movie. J Reed..damn I could not play his part. An undercover cop playing a drug dealer to bring down a huge drug lord. He befriended "God" and took him down. It was really hard for him to do because they had built such a strong bond. This movie was really good though,. LL Cool J and Omar Epps played their roles really well.

talk about undercover 2005-01-21
This movie was ill omar is a great actor as for ll he's a better actor than rapper. I liked this movie alot, i like how omar works his way up to a high organization of gagsters and brings them down, although omar gets caught up in the movie b/c he starts to wonder what he's doin as a po po..Definitly go buy don't rent...

Excellent, a must see 2004-11-08
I am an 18 year old white male from a high-class family.. I loved this movie.. The performance of Omar and ll cool j is just amazing.. i would recommend this movie to anyone who likes suspense movies and doesnt mind a movie about black suburbia

It could've been much better but LL COOL J was great! 2004-03-30
LL COOL J was great playing the sometimes good sometimes bad DON of the ghetto.
Omar Epps is usually one of my fav's but he comes off as kind of a place character but he does okay, however he did a million times better in the great movie FIRST TIME FELON.

The plot of the movie isn't too good I think that the ending was really weak, and a bad ending can destroy a good movie.

The is alright to watch, but there are better movies outthere.
