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.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Competent yet largely forgettable.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten

An extremely raw, disturbing film!

Christy Lemire, Associated Press
Rotten

The latest in a long line of mediocre August releases, this would-be thriller boasts several well acted, interesting characters stuck in a story that is unevenly paced and overly familiar.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Fresh

Sharp performances.

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
