"Deep Cover" is all about a cop (Fishburn) who goes undercover as a narc and pretty much manages to help a little kid and rescue a babe while single handedly solving all of the West Coast drug trafficking problems. If this sounds like so much B.S., well, it is and "Deep Cover" is pretty much your garden variety Hollywood three star B.S. flick. On the short side the characters are all stereotypes from bygone days; the film's too melodramatic and silly in places; and the production was journeyman level stuff. Nonetheless, the "Deep Cover" did have an interesting noir moodiness with some philosophical narration by Fishburn and should make an enjoyable couch potato watch for those who are into gritty crime dramas.
