Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
A gritty, well-acted urban drama with lots of humanity.
Washington Post Stephen Hunter
Has a gritty authenticity to it … captures the spectacularly crazed quality of urban violence.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
Invigorating excellence.
Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
A gritty, profane and profoundly disturbing look at the American drug culture.
Film.com Sean Means
LL Cool J... is downright scary -- a mix of coiled charm and underlying menace.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Gene Seymour
Script resounds throughout with astringent dialogue and stark authenticity.
Read Full Review >Newsweek Anjali Arora
With a strong soundtrack and a little humor, In Too Deep remains good entertainment.
Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
It delivers cop-genre thrills at the pace required and reminds us Omar Epps is a star in the making.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
A well-acted and surprisingly thoughtful treatment of the same old, same old.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Elvis Mitchell
Treats its characters seriously and doesn't resort to the obvious very often.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Gary Dauphin
The film does have a canny appreciation for how ghetto realness is acted out.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris
Crime-by numbers-cop drama.
Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
It's old, old hat.
San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Epps is a leading man on the rise, and Cool J. is something to see.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak
A mess of incohesiveness and fragmented storytelling.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Mark Caro
An oft-told tale.
TNT RoughCut Matt Kelsey
(L.L.. Cool J's) gritty drug lord is decent.
Miami Herald Sara Wildberger
LL Cool J. plays God like a medieval king.
New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Slow and predictable, and the characters are so poorly written that its hard to react to them in any way.
Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
This earnest yet cynical drama makes the gang-infiltration genre seem exhausted.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Nicole Campos
Enough gunfights, vicious beatings, and pissing matches for five films.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Too sloppy, pinning psychological crime dramatics to good old-fashioned gunplay.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
Begins sinking in the shallow end almost at once.
Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy
Goes on too long and doesn't have much to say.
Dallas Observer Scott Kelton Jones
Not too far from the version of "Serpico" staged by the Max Fisher Players in "Rushmore."
