Deep Cover (1992) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a Los Angeles Detective who is assigned an under cover mission to bring down a drug cartel. He quickly discovers he may be a better drug dealer than police officer, he's definitely more accepted as one. As leadership changes within his division the police officer becomes torn on his next steps on if he should stay undercover or quit.

This movie is directed by Bill Duke (Hoodlum) and stars Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park), Lira Angel (Tales from the Hood), Victoria Dillard (Ali), Jaime Cardriche (A Different World) and Anna Berger (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three).

The narration and back story is very well delivered. The sound track is excellent as is the acting. Goldblum was fun and Fishburne was perfect for this role. Fishburne was excellent in this movie and his character and the storyline evolves well and is very entertaining.

Overall this isn't the best drug trafficking movie in the world, or as good as New Jack City, but it is entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend seeing it once.
