Thank you for the kind words!...The Sci-Fi Fanatic:<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, I really like Jeff Goldblum as well. He's been such a diverse collection of films and always manages to give whatever dialogue he has, an odd, off-kilter spin when delivering it which always makes him interesting to watch. <br /><br />Christopher Walken should make another film with Abel Ferrera. They obviously worked well on KING OF NY and also brought the best out of each other in THE ADDICTION, an underrated vampire film starring Lili Taylor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-41471042998374868272010-05-04T13:20:51.603-04:002010-05-04T13:20:51.603-04:00Well articulated piece on the "B" film. ...Well articulated piece on the "B" film. I always enjoyed this picture. Goldblum and Fishburne elevate the material, though it is a good script. But I just think an awful lot of Fishburne as an actor, always have. Goldblum, even in the worst material, is peculiar enough to keep you engaged. I agree with you, Deep Cover is one of his best.<br /><br />I never knew Bill Duke [Predator] was the man behind the camera. That was funny to learn.<br /><br />Anyway, your article really hammers home a quality review on a small classic within the genre. I loved it when I saw it.<br /><br />King Of New York as mentioned here in the comments is a terrific picture and one of the last best films I can recall by Christopher Walken.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-72778428796342907622010-05-04T09:58:13.315-04:002010-05-04T09:58:13.315-04:00le0pard13:

I was also blown away by his performance in BOYZ N THE HOOD as well. Always been a big fan of his.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br /><br />Bryce Wilson:<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I hope you do check this film out. I would like to read your thoughts on it.<br /><br /><br />Jeff Allard:<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments. I have fond memories of seeing DEEP COVER in a nearly empty theater when it first came out. The film didn't do all that well which really surprised me but maybe its politics didn't appeal to many.<br /><br />I too found the sub-genre of urban crime films from the '90s quite fascinating. BOYZ N THE HOOD really opened the floodgates and then all these interesting films came out. I still think KING OF NY is my fave, though (with DEEP COVER a close second) and I hope to cover it on my blog some time in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-79714229376021207582010-05-04T07:49:58.588-04:002010-05-04T07:49:58.588-04:00Terrifc write-up!

I have a soft spot for Deep Cover and the whole sub-genre of '90s urban crime films that tried to get back to a grittier '70s sensibility while still having that '90s sheen - movies like King of New York, New Jack City, Juice and Sugar Hill. I worked in a video store at the time and we couldn't keep these movies on the shelves.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-67346552009490130282010-05-03T23:50:31.631-04:002010-05-03T23:50:31.631-04:00Great review JD.

I remember when this came out, and both Laurence Fishburne (who was something else good in KING OF NEW YORK) and Jeff Goldblum blew me away. Whatever Bill Duke puts out, whether it's great (like this one) or just so-so, his films are always very watchable.
