Ed Potton The Times (UK) ... It works out rather well, combining deadpan gags with some brisk pacing. Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The ensemble is packed with seasoned acting professionals across the board, who more than sell their drunk scenes and deliver more than a few laughs on their way to redemption. Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter The film approaches its action tropes with an effective sense of absurdity, but it’s the stars’ kinetic commitment to the bit that makes this relentlessly silly film work. Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Liselotte Vanophem Geek Vibes Nation While Deep Cover offers nothing new under the sun in terms of story, it’s highly entertaining, funny, and witty. It’ll put a smile on your face from start to finish. Rated: 8/10 Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Just different enough to make it stand out. Rated: 7/10 Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent Film Speak With a trio of impeccable actors, Tom Kingsley gives life to what looked like an otherwise dull piece of content in Deep Cover.

Audience Member Pretty funny and whimsical. Acting is pretty on and good casting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Friendly D Good premise for a comedy and really well acted and funny from start to finish. Some bits were a bit cheesy and the plot is ludicrous, but the three leads were excellent. Hardly ever watch comedies or find them funny, but this was WAY better than expected. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Doug K This movie is seriously horrible. Virtually every cliche about innocent people being dragged into the world of bad guys is found here. You have seen it all before over and over, and most of the acting is just as bad. "Let's go to improv class at Second City and find us some undercover drug agents!" Really!!! . This is a real stinker. Avoid it. I want that 2 hours back Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Audience Member I have not laughed this much during in a movie in a long time. Absolutely hilarious and original. Orlando Bloom is amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Ollie H Very well written. The entire film feels like it’s been improvised all the way through - fast paced, chaotic. It’s an example of the characters’ behaviour affecting the plot of the film. This really interested me. The film doesn’t try to force laughs, it just pulls you along, and the sheer unpredictability - and wacky ‘characters’ they try to play the role of - will leave you in fits of laughter at certain points. It’s a perfect representation of building tension, then releasing all the tension at once. The film is based on infiltrating drug gangs - and despite the obvious intention for this to be a comedy - they do not hold back on the intensity! My only issue is Nick Mohammed’s character. He plays the part of the socially awkward character. However, rather than well-timed pauses creating comical awkwardness, they just take all the momentum out of the dialogue. Whilst watching, I got a bit annoyed! However, in his praise, this “third wheel” role significantly enhances the enticing chemistry between Bloom and Howard, his other cast members. Bloom absolutely masters his role of the intense, slightly off-script character. He’s a proper ‘captain chaos’ - all the action, and uncontrollable nature of the film, starts with him. Howard’s character is less insane, but arguably more ‘in character’. The pair of them is hilarious: Bloom throws a curveball, and Howard runs with it. It’s unpredictable, it’s fast-paced, and it’s brilliant! I know I’ve criticised it a bit, but don’t let that affect your judgment- this is a fun film. For sure, it’s not for everybody. People could see it as a bit ‘flat’ and ‘forced’, but if you’re into comedies that aren’t all sunshine and rainbows…and you like a bit of chaotic unpredictability…then this film is certainly for you!
