Customer Rating: Summary: Good Movie Comment: In Too Deep is a urban drama that was overlooked in 1999. Omar Epps is good in the lead role a J. Reid/Jeffery Cole an undercover cop who begins to lose his mind while trying to get close to God ( a drug lord) played very effectively by LL Cool in one of his best performances ever. The direction and cinematography are very good and the film features cameos from rappers Nas, Stickay Fingaz and Jeramine Dupri. While the film isn't as good as Deep Cover it's still worth a look. Customer Rating: Summary: should've been a tv episode instead Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Toya's Review Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: talk about undercover Comment: 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... Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent, a must see Comment: I am an 18 year old white male from a high-class family.. I loved this movie..
