Summary: Donnie Brasco of the 1990s!
Review: A superb, tense thriller that can be placed alongside "Donnie Brasco" (I mean, of course, Agent Joseph Pistone's book, not the dreadful movie, full of awful changes, inconsistencies and downright lies, that was "based" on it!). "In Too Deep" is powerful, dark, gripping and keeps you uncertain of what's going to happen till the very end. A very realistic experience, with attention paid to the tiniest details and legalities - this isn't your average brainless Tarantino flick where undercover cops go around happily shooting anyone they want whenever they feel like it; this feels almost *real*! I doubt if the movie was actually based on a true story of an undercover policeman (unless the "story" is the obvious fact that thousands of policemen risk their lives every month working undercover all over the world), but if anything like it ever happened, you can safely bet that it happened exactly the way the movie tells it. Highly recommended, especially for anyone interested in true crime. If while reading "Donnie Brasco" (NOT while watching its, ugh, "film version"...) you ever wondered what it would be like if moved to the 1990s, "In Too Deep" will answer your questions! (By the way, have you noticed that "God" looks somewhat like a thin Suge Knight, while J-Reed looks a bit like an older version of Tupac Shakur...?)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Psychological Thriller
Review: Action packed thriller of an undercover cop. LL Cool J along with fellow rappers Ice-T and Ice-Cube have crossed over into the world of acting. LL plays a cruel druglord, he plays it so well you wonder if he could really do this..just kidding. This is a good movie for a Saturday night rental.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The Real
Review: From the time the movie started until the time the movie ended, I was glued to the t.v. Omar Epps and L.L. cool J played their parts so beautifully. The momentum of the movie was fast past. It was filled with excitement and allot of action

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Too too deep
Review: Great performance by LL Cool J and Omar Epps. Epps is a undercover trying to bring down a notorious gangster LL who find's himself getting in too deep he forget's who he is. You have some good actor's in this film Nina Long ,Pam Grier ,and apperiences by ,Nas ,Shyhiem ,and Jermanie Dupri. This film is worth getting and for LL fans you get to see a thug side of him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, a must see

Summary: Drugs in the Ghetto city Streets!
Review: I was really digging "In Too Deep", it was real tight how they were able to take a true making and put it on the BIG screen and what 2 better strong black actors to use then LL and Epps they made that movie so hard and the soundtrack was slamming. There isn't one bad cut on there and OH yeah the pool table scene was so for real. but the best part for is to see OHIO and especially my home town get put on the map. Givin MAD LOVE to Cincy BABY ! Thanks for keepin' it Real.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In Too Deep
Review: In Too Deep is a great movie! It would definetly get 5 stars if it weren't such a blatant rip off of Donnie Brasco. Omar Epps is amazing as an undercover cop caught up in his risky assignment. LL Cool J is beleivable as his criminal foil. If you liked Donnie Brasco than see this movie, it is the modern urban equivalent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Movie
Review: In Too Deep is a movie about a police officer who goes under cover to bust a Drug Lord. What you get in this movie are 2 strong performances by Omar Epps and LL Cool J (who is quickly showing that his greater talent lies in acting). I would recommend renting this before a purchase but this is a good movie.
