It goes by very quickly, and it's different from the other undercover movies that you see of this caliber.

So uneven it's downright schizophrenic.

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2002

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 5, 2002

Competent yet largely forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 5, 2002

Not everyone can deal with this level of violence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2001

LL Cool J with his natural charisma is the key to the movie's edge.

The characters are blur and not vivid.

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.

Epps comes off best!

Some solid acting; a great-looking film.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Monotonous and less compelling.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Unexceptional acting and an excess of cop-film cliches!

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

In Too Deep offers a valuable perspective on violence and on the human tendency to suppress it or to relish it.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 1, 2000

Empty at the core but superficially diverting.

| Jan 1, 2000

It doesn't match up to the same level as Donnie Brasco, but In Too Deep is still a decent update of the gangster genre.
