In Too Deep Reviews

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

Competent yet largely forgettable.

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

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

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The characters are blur and not vivid.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Some solid acting; a great-looking film.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Empty at the core but superficially diverting.

| Jan 1, 2000

The worst offence committed is a waste of talents in casting powerhouse players Tucci and Grier in stereotype 'other cop' roles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Slow and predictable!

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The script irrevocably falters.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Too Shallow!

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The movie is a weakly scripted shambles.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 1, 2000

Aaron and Brown's script resounds throughout with astringent dialogue and stark authenticity.

| Jan 1, 2000

In Too Deep is an extremely raw, disturbing film that sometimes goes over the top in its brutality.

| Jan 1, 2000

It's the kind of summer movie you see only if a power failure has knocked out your air conditioning.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Sharp performances.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Plot not deep enough.

| Jan 1, 2000

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Rewardingly textured work.
