Undercover cop Jeffrey Cole is doing "God's" work, and he is losing his religion. God is Dwayne Gittens, whose neighborhood benevolence masks his thriving Cincinnati (a refreshing change of scenery) drug trade. Cole, a rookie fresh out of the Academy is "ready for the big score" and is charged by his mentor to "bring God and his angels down for good." But the higher Cole rises in Gittens's organization, the deeper he gets. Omar Epps redeems himself after The Mod Squad with a gripping and empathetic performance as the increasingly conflicted Cole. After scoring as the comic relief in Deep Blue Sea, LL Cool J gets down to business as Gittens, the master of his domain who rules with an iron hand (and, in one particularly nasty sequence, a pool cue), but is also capable of compassion and charity. As Cole's concerned superior, Stanley Tucci avoids the bluster usually associated with this stock character. Pam Grier, whose career should have gotten a Viagralike pop from Jackie Brown, makes the most out of her thankless role as a fellow officer who finds herself in a climactic standoff with Cole. In Too Deep briefly loses its focus after Cole is pulled from the case. He takes photography classes and becomes involved with a model (Nia Long). But fans of TV's late, lamented Wiseguy, the unjustly neglected Deep Cover, and Donnie Brasco will find Cole'a anguished odyssey compelling. --Donald Liebenson

should've been a tv episode instead.......2007-05-17

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.

Toya's Review.......2007-03-23

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.

talk about undercover.......2005-01-21

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...

Excellent, a must see.......2004-11-08

I am an 18 year old white male from a high-class family.. I loved this movie.. The performance of Omar and ll cool j is just amazing.. i would recommend this movie to anyone who likes suspense movies and doesnt mind a movie about black suburbia

It could've been much better but LL COOL J was great!.......2004-03-30

LL COOL J was great playing the sometimes good sometimes bad DON of the ghetto.
Omar Epps is usually one of my fav's but he comes off as kind of a place character but he does okay, however he did a million times better in the great movie FIRST TIME FELON.

The plot of the movie isn't too good I think that the ending was really weak, and a bad ending can destroy a good movie.
