Critics Consensus

Like any good improv comedy skit, Deep Cover treats an amusing setup with a freewheeling sense of fun while giving each of its performers their time to shine.

3/5

...Sean Bean, Paddy Considine and Ian McShane all try to make sense of the amateurs, some of whom are very good at playing actors who aren’t funny.

... It works out rather well, combining deadpan gags with some brisk pacing.

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.

Deep Cover” was fun, fast-paced and full of actors who were enjoyable to watch. The script was clever and full of little details that ran through and drew me in. The twists were plentiful and speedy.

Bloom is a scene stealer, playing a classically trained actor who once had a brush with fame, but is now relegated to commercials. He’s very deadpan, and very method, and its the best performance I’ve seen from him in years.

If you're looking for a decent laugh that doesn't require you to think too much, you could certainly do a lot worse.

Now this is easy on mind. Nothing complex or concealed. Just pure entertainment. There hasn't been a single 10 minute stretch without a good laugh. It's well written and very well casted. Bryce, Bloom and Nick does a tremendous job and even the supporting cast pitch in especially Alexander's role. Great visuals and sound effects. Deep Cover is a lighthearted film with a lively vibe that will please any audience.

DEEP COVER takes its silly premise just seriously enough to establish a grounded yet giddy riff on the crime thriller, with a lot of laughs and lovable antics (especially from Orlando Bloom's character). While the film occasionally falls into some predictable genre tropes, there's always an amusing edge to keep things firmly in action comedy territory, and plenty to suggest enjoyable repeat viewing.
