The characters are blur and not vivid.

Mike Clark USA Today (Top Critic)

It's the kind of summer movie you see only if a power failure has knocked out your air conditioning.

Too Shallow!

Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)

In Too Deep doesn't exactly abound in surprise plot twists. Even so, director Michael Rymer does a satisfying job of infusing the cliches with edgy persuasiveness.

Competent yet largely forgettable.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

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.

Christy Lemire Associated Press (Top Critic)

An extremely raw, disturbing film!

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

Aaron and Brown's script resounds throughout with astringent dialogue and stark authenticity.

So uneven it's downright schizophrenic.

Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle

50

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.

20

Although it is based on a true story, the subject matter has been covered too many times to care, and the by-the-book plot plods along to an anti-climatic finish.

Not everyone can deal with this level of violence.

Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle

40

Comes off as a simplistic morality tale rife with moments requiring forehead-slapping suspension of disbelief and precious little in the way of overt tension.

Weak script!

It's great to see the intensely charismatic LL Cool J bouncing back from failed-sitcom oblivion and up on the big screen where he really belongs.

Sharp performances.

Kevin Maynard Mr. Showbiz

A gritty, well-acted urban drama with lots of humanity.

Eric Monder Film Journal International

A cut above the average made-for-TV movie about this subject.
