REVIEW SUMMARY
Deep Cover is an action comedy that knows exactly what it wants to be: lightly entertaining, deliberately exaggerated, and ironically efficient. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it offers an hour and a half of pure fun, with genuinely hilarious performances – especially from Orlando Bloom – and direction that skillfully balances chaos and control. For anyone unsure about what to watch over the weekend, this is a delightful surprise well worth discovering from the comfort of home.
