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.

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.

Some solid acting; a great-looking film.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Empty at the core but superficially diverting.

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!

The script irrevocably falters.

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.

Sharp performances.

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.
