David Patrick Kelly, Don Harvey, Gano Grills

Detective Jeffrey Cole is going undercover on a mission so dangerous, it could cost him his life...and possibly his soul. The target: a gangster called "God" who's hooked into 80% of the city's crime....( read more  read more... ) No cop has been able to bring him down, but Cole is not your average cop. As a recent graduate from the police academy, Cole believes he was born to serve as an undercover agent. After a few successful busts and a few close calls, he feels he can do whatever it takes to put "God" away for good. After being entangled "under" for too long, his superiors see him as a major threat to the operation, the one love in his life, and himself. Will he be able to separate himself from the character he created after the mission is finished, or will he lose himself in the same evil he hopes to destroy? Now, with every friend he makes and every threat he faces, he's getting one step closer to the man he's after, and one step further from the man he was.

    Because this movie takes place in Cinncinnatti and I am from Ohio and about to finish up my degree in Criminal Justice I could be a little bias in this review...

    But in my opinion it was a five star movie. Omar Epps does an amazing job at his emotionally conflicted role as an ...( read more)under-cover cop and LL Cool J Surprisenly pulls off an amazing performance as "God" a major drug lord pushing an 11million dollar crack trade.

    Inspired by a true story, this movie captures the emotions of those who must of been conflicted in the real life event, as well as captures what people involved in drug trade, good evil or bystander, see's and goes through on a day-to-day base.

    What is even better about this film is it's not your typical crime movie. It's more so about the life of an under-cover cop and the struggles to keep there personal life and there undercover persona seperated. Sometimes when a man is undercover so long it's easy to lose your way and believe that you are the personality you play on the street, and Omar Epps, captures that perfectly.

    I apersonally was also especially refreashed by the fact that this took place in Ohio, a different scene than the same old "New York, LA, Miami" that we have seen in at least a thousand movies now. It's a great new setting, for an unpredictable, action packed, and emotional criminal drama.

    It passes in all areas!

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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. full review
