I always be wary of the term “action comedy” because for each Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Or Hot Fuzz There is a Stop! Or my mother will shoot. It is a genre difficult to do well, but it seems that Tom Kingsley fell it out: the new first -rate video film he made, Deep coverobtains glowing criticism.
Deep cover Stars Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Kat, who teaches improvisation comedy and begins to believe that she has missed her great chance of becoming a comedy star. But then, she comes across an infiltrated cop played by Sean Bean, and he wants her to play the role of a life alongside two of her students, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed. But it is not a role on the stage or on the screen. Kat and his students will infiltrate the London gangland by pretending to be dangerous criminals.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the resulting film is “tirelessly” – and this is meant as a compliment.
What do Deep Cover reviews say?
To watch
Deep cover is currently 95% sitting on Rotten Tomatoes based on 22 criticism of criticism (he made his debut at the SXSW London Screen Festival earlier this month), making it one of the best first-rate video films. And consensus is that it is not exactly a high art, but it is very entertaining.
Empire Magazine gave the film four on five stars, comparing Sean Bean’s cop to Jackson Lamb Slow horses; To say that it is “well constructed, engaging in the bit in the department of the gap while offering clear configurations and reimbursements for its central characters – a comedy which, beyond drugs and class A body bags is how improvisation gives three loser loss a new lease on life”.
“This is one of the most surprisingly funny films of the year,” said Ebert.com, giving the film three out of four stars. The cast “is fantastic from top to bottom, leaning in their characters on the screen in a way that keeps this whole film certainly awkward together. It turns out that you can accept a lot of silly plot, as long as you laugh.”
“The Action Comedy with high concept of Amazon Deep Cover could be bright with narrative climbing, but it has a lot of laughter and a formidable trio of main actors,” explains Screen Rant. And Ready Steady Cut said that “it is an almost perfect popcorn entertainment, an action comedy with a correct action and a really funny comedy that puts its distribution of stars at work by playing exaggerated pastiches of their usual screen characters.”
What do viewers say about deep cover?
There are not enough audience criticisms to draw the popcomter to generate a score, but the spectator’s comments take care of four and five stars.
Nick loved the gags but thought that crime could be better-“if the crime aspect was as good as comedy, it would be one of the best of the last years,” he said, while Micki K gave him the ultimate compliment: “I actually put my phone to watch it.”
Many viewers have echoed criticism by distinguishing Orlando Bloom for particular praise – “all the characters are perfectly sunk”, explains Scott F, and “Orlando Bloom is particularly funny” – as well as to note that the quantity you appreciate the film depends in part on what you expect.
“It’s a fun walk!” Said Samantha U. “Take it for what it is – entertaining. It is not an artistic film work but the living man, I really appreciate this decision. The game was great. The writing was intelligent. The characters were kind. It was not 4 hours like all the other films at the moment.” For Samantha, it brought him “to a simpler moment when the films were just fun”.
Deep cover is now streaming on the premium video.
