Deep Cover

A washed out Actor, an Improv Teacher and a quirky Tech guy find themselves working for the police, going undercover to bust two big drug gangs.

I was taken aback by all 3 leads (one unknown that ended up being better than expected), with Orlando Bloom reminding why I find him so charming with his acting. Didn't expect to also see Sean Bean and Ian McShane, much less delivering quality roles in what seems like a low profile film.

All around, a quality script that is quite entertaining and unpredictable due to the creativity of this nonsensical premise. Good dialogue, some action, and plenty of comedic moments. Easy recommendation, as it has too many good things going for it..

You have to rate a movie for what it is, and for what it is (a silly good fun romp), this was fantastic. Laugh out loud funny at times with ridiculous yet highly likeable characters.

The plot is as over the top as the characters, who are as over the top as everything else here - and I'm all for it. Personal highlights were the high speed bicycle chase, the grenade scene, and "the nose" (when you know, you'll know).

So, where do films like this fit? Think of those movie nights where you wanted to watch something like Rush Hour, or 21 Jump St, and you have just found your next film.

Manage your expectations, then have a great time with this one.

A British gangster film coming out with little publicity and going straight to streaming - that's normally a deeply unprepossessing prospect.

But this turns out to be a cracking little film. A daft light-hearted heist movie, 3 likeable leads with real chemistry and an entertaining supporting cast ranging from renowned acting heavyweights to young comedic talent, all doing a fine job.

The plot makes little sense - but who cares, it's just the framework for some silly comedy and the film rushes by with such pace and energy that you never have time to stop and think about how the trio got themselves into such ridiculous situations.

It's not a great film, it's certainly not going to win any critical awards, but it's so much better than most people will expect it to be and succeeds admirably at being good entertainment.

First off, I don't normally rate Amazon original films, they're usually toss to be honest, but this is pretty decent actually.

Cast was great, Orlando Bloom was brilliant, although his accent slipped a couple of times, but I suppose that's kind of the character... He's bang at the TRT though isn't he lol, me missus was loving it haha.

Nick Mohammed played his usual character, was great though and always been a fan of Bryce Dallas Howard. Some great cameos from some familiar faces of British telly. Sean Bean in it as well (always brilliant), did his usual thing... Poor fella lol. And I'll watch anything that Paddy Considine is in since '24 hour party people'.

Was pretty funny, very English humour, which is surprising, since I think the writers are American, either way; funny is funny...

Very minor nitpick, some of the slang was off, rat instead of grass etc, but again very minor and most people won't care and non English people won't even notice.

I was going into this happy to turn it off if it wasn't good after 20 minutes, but it kept me hooked and smirking all the way through.

Give it a chance, it's not even an hour 40.

Pretty decent, especially for an Amazon original!

7/10.

Really solid movie hilarious all the way thru with some action as well the storyline was a bit corky as well as the movie at times but it still definitely had a serious vibe at times wasn't really slow at any point I was entertained the entire movie the acting was amazing from the entire cast but especially from Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom They were pure comedy it had a couple Of twist that made things even more interesting and the ending was good definitely ended on a positive note, this is a buddy comedy feel good type of movie and it's was better than I thought I will be watching it again in the future and give it a 7.2 out of 10.
