Surprisingly good

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.

"Clowning is an art"

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..

Entertaining and Refreshingly Unpretentious

We've reached a point in cinema where simply telling a story without preaching feels almost radical. Deep Cover earns points for doing just that - it doesn't lecture, it doesn't moralize, it just spins a mildly absurd tale and has fun with it.The plot revolves around Kat, a failed actress with a flair for melodrama; Marlon, her equally theatrical male counterpart; and Hugh, the mild-mannered tagalong who seems like he wandered in from another movie. The trio is roped into what appears to be an undercover operation by a cop named Billings, though "operation" might be too generous a word for what quickly unravels into chaos. Soon, they're knee-deep in actual criminal dealings, forced to "stay in character" as their improvisation turns into survival.It's excessive and implausible, but somehow, it works. There are flashes of real fun, especially when Marlon, in full bluster, tries to blend in with two actual tough guys, only to be betrayed by a ridiculous commercial where he's in costume, mugging for the camera. It's silly, self-aware, and just meta enough.Perfectly watchable popcorn fare, even if the scent of a sequel is already wafting in the air-and not in a good way.
