Description
"Russell Stevens, a police officer, goes undercover as 'John Hull,' the partner of a dangerously ambitious cocaine trafficker, in order to infiltrate and bring down a powerful Latin American drug ring operating in L.A. But the further Stevens descends into this ruthless world of money, violence, and power, the more disillusioned he becomes -- and the harder it is to make out the line between right and wrong, crime and justice. Steeped in shadowy, neon-soaked atmosphere Deep Cover is an unsung gem of the nineties' Black cinema explosion that delivers a riveting character study and sleek action thrills alongside a furious moral indictment of America and the devastating failures of the war on drugs"--Container.
