I don't know why, but I had the impression Deep Cover was a series, but it's a movie.

In this British production, three failing improv actors are hired by a cop to go undercover to help capture criminals who sell counterfeit cigarettes.

There is Kat Boyles, who recruits the other two actors, Marlon and Hugh. Marlon is a method actor who turns every situation into a role. Hugh is a meek Indian man who lets everyone push him around.

As this trio attempts to purchase some counterfeit cigarettes from a convenience store, they detect an opportunity to level up.

And it goes from there. Going deeper and higher into the organized crime world, advancing by exploiting their improv skills to the max, mostly lucking out as they fumble and stumble along.

This movie is just above "meh". It's a good time waster, but it won't win any awards.

The best character of the bunch is Marlon. I laughed the most at his lines and behavior.

got it on my save list.
 
watched the first half so far.


BORING!
Well, I did give it a rating of just above "meh". :lol:

I gave it that high a rating only because of Marlon the method actor. I got a few chuckles out of that character.
