Amazon.com:
Bill Duke (A Rage in Harlem) directed this edgy action yarn that stretches the barriers of the genre. It explores the fine line between good and evil, while testing the resolve of a moral man seduced by an easier, more pleasurable lifestyle. Although the plot eventually becomes too overblown and earnest, Deep Cover proves far more intelligent than the average action pic. Laurence Fishburne is the straight-arrow undercover cop who gets so far into his assumed identity that he has trouble recognizing the good guys from the bad. The characters, all flawed, are fleshed out and believable as they face their decisions with questions and doubt, unlike most in this genre. Jeff Goldblum provides smarmy comic relief as an eccentric mid-level drug dealer/attorney who is probably a psychopath and most definitely paving his path to hell. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - An under rated and overlooked movie
Another good film that manages to kiss black butt while making a kick butt movie at the same time. The movie Blade does this too, to a large extent if you are into that type of stuff. Yes, some situations seem implausable (would you really turn a gun on your superiors or punch them? And if you that straight, would you be social enough to be a good seller of dope?) But just turn the mind off, and enjoy the good directing, music, scenary, acting, and story. The film manages to give dignity to black people and make them look cool, while hinting at the social injustice inherent within the "system".
Rating: - One of Larry's best early lead performances of the nineties
Deep Cover is Fish's third best performances of the early nineties behind Boyz N The Hood and What's Love Got To Do With It. The character he plays in Deep Cover is a smooth cop who gets in over his head when he goes undercover. Jeff Goldblum makea great bad guy and the direction by Bill Duke was also very good following A Rage In Harlem from a year earlier.
Rating: - Deep Cover
Its a great movie about a cop who goes under cover and stays there while at the same time gets caught up in conflict among his peers, and then realizes that he has to make decisions about his future after his rise to power as a drug dealer is swift and easy. Great dialogue and choice of characters to reflect how wide spread the reach of drugs are in every type class.
Rating:  - Classic Fishburne!
This is probably the movie that catapulted Laurence Fishburne's career. It is also one of the movies are consider as a follow up to New Jack City. If you are a fan of Fishburne, then this is definitely the movie to have in your collection. It's as deep cover as you can get far as cracking down on the drug game can get.
Rating: - Deep Cover
I consider the song selections very good. Basically, I purchased the CD for the title cut. In my opinion, it is Dr. Dre's and Snoop's best cut together ever.
