This is actually a very good film. A great watch, and tense all they way through. It was an incredible mix of scripting, acting, dialogue and cinematography that uncovered an understanding of truth on both sides of the issue.In this film, Omar Epps plays a rookie, undercover cop, whose first small assignment actually leads him into the number one crime syndicate in all of Cincinnati. The inexperienced cop uses his urban upbringing and street smarts to get him to the top, where he really has to decide which side he wants to be on. Also LL Cool J showed that he had much talent in acting as in Hip-Hop music. Omar Epps is also great, and Nia Long, nice eye candy from fresh prince of Bel Air and Stanley Tucci, who added further weight to the cast. The soundtrack is great too, especially at the end with the Mobb Deep track, it's a perfect fit.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Action is a genre that is known for being way out there in terms of realism, with ridiculous special effects, shotty dialouge, and bad acting. Seldom is an action movie really focused on the story, instead it's always about the man who can do the impossible. In Too Deep was different though because it was based on a true story and there really weren't any expensive special effects. In this film, Omar Epps plays a rookie, undercover cop, whose first small assignment actually leads him into the number one crime syndicate in all of Cincinnati. The inexperienced cop uses his urban upbringing and street smarts to get him to the top, where he really has to decide which side he wants to be on. In Too Deep featured a great, real life story, that was on the level, I really enjoyed this film. On top of that Epps and LL Cool J were terrific opposing each other and giving strong performances. What I didn't care for was the blatant racism from Director Michael Rymer. Everything was very well done, but it is very obvious that the Writer/Director of this film was white, while the majority of the cast was black. What I witnessed was a film where all the people in charge were white, all the thugs were black, but it didn't end there. The white people spoke eloquently, while even the black officers and other non-affiliated cast members all spoke street. Every person from the rookie cops aging father to the man who ran the convenience store were dropping F bombs left and right, adding man to every other word, and constantly saying the N word. I understand the point of this movie was to be real, but part of that realism was that this gang had never been infiltrated because of how smart they were. Instead of being portrayed as smooth and savvy, the leaders of the gang were portrayed as ignorant thugs and that really takes away from the film.

First off I would like to say what a hell of a movie and story plot. Second for anyone who craves all them great movies like menace 2 society, Boyz in the hood, Juice, Training day.... Will love this movie. I will start of by saying LL Cool J is a very legit gangster and drug lord. Second off i knew Omar Epps was a very talented actor... But I never knew he was this talented! This movie starts of really slow but the realism starts right at the beginning. I don't really wanna say much there is no spoilers on this its just a review for people who still have not watch this masterpiece! Pretty much this is all i gotta say for the most part! I mean i know this is not too helpful its my first review so I'm sorry if I'm rough around the edges ill get better as i go along... its just one of them movies that is worth writing about and reviewing. If I have wasted anyones time I'm very sorry in every way!

This movie delves deeply into the mind state and life of an undercover police officer. This movie can be compared to other movies such as; The Donnie Brasco Story, and Deep Cover. This movie did a great job at showing the painful side of being an undercover police agent. In Too Deep is a great action-packed movie with a resounding punch. The acting was great, from the actors who played as the main characters to the supporting actors and actresses. I give thumb ups to Omar Epps, L.L. Cool J. and Nia Long for a job well done.
