    1999 classic. LL Cool J and his most vicious role yet. What he did to his mans frisco was crazy.
    “ I’m drunk with revenge MF, luv it Think about her, think about her”
    God: You are cop J?
    J Reid: What you think?
    God: I think you know the answer to that clown?

    LL carried this movie. It was the first time I saw him not the lover boy or the smiling good guy role and he was believable. Even tho he was the "villain" and did some of the most foul stuff throughout, by the end of the movie I didn't want to see him go out the way he did. When I think of LLs acting resumè In Too Deep is the first title I think of. For me even tho the movie wasn't anywhere near as good as Training Day, LL played that dark drug dealer role just as good as Denzel played a crooked cop.

    I’m so glad you guys are reviewing this film. This was one of my favorites as a teen when it came out. My question then and even on a rewatch years later, and maybe someone can answer for me. What was the deal that was supposed to happen between J. Reed, Ozzie, and Gash? Because it did, from the outside looking in; look like they were trying to set him up. Especially when Gash said they had to prove them selves. What was supposed to happen? That always confuses me? I’ve even gone to google and asked the same question. 😂😂😂

    I don't see Ice Cube pulling off God just based on what we've seen.
    I'm basing this on some of his more serious roles. Triple X: State of the Union, Fist Fight, Anaconda, The Longshots, 21Jump Street.
    For the most part other than Anaconda which his role was small in and Triple X they were more comedic roles. For me in State of the Union he just didn't come off as believable playing a guy who was supposed to be military trained and a top notch agent. He still came off as comedic in certain areas of the movie.
    LL pulled off a completely unique character that you felt like you'd be legitimately fearful of in real life.
    I'm not arguing if Ice Cube could pull it off or not. I'm just saying we haven't seen that side of him in a role.

    For me? I thought Breezy T in the end was maybe a undercover cop as well when he approached him but he was one of the guys to testify. I honestly felt this movie was good? They should’ve put another 30 mins in this movie! Omar Epps character as the undercover you can tell he was beginning to fuck with God’s men! I mean Idk if they all fuck with the alter ego J Reed? But it seem that they all fuck with him cause when JD character “Melvin” tried to knock his ass out with the bottle his men came and jumped his ass. My part on that was when J Reed 🦵 his face up like a field goal 😂! That was hilarious, another part I enjoyed was at the Diner. When he asked how God treating them and they told the truth to him “God ain’t giving us no money til we prove ourselves.” And they was eating like they ain’t eat in days too. Especially Shyheim character eating them damn fries 😂! Idk why people go on him about that scene which probably memorable to a lot of folks. J Reed blessed them with some money and asked young nigga to get the waiter number for him for the money. He went right to it no questions! That’s when J Reed start to have a soft spot for them guys! Cause I’m pretty sure they fuck with him though he’s a undercover cop and he does too. I think that’s what I liked about the movie! A rookie going undercover and having a personal battle with himself to know who he is and what he’s not. His chief really fucked with him and he was worried he didn’t wanna lose him! Sound like some father type shit to me foreal 💯! In the end it was sad to see God disappointed in the fact he did save his life and he can’t get no prison time cut short from that 🤔! He was very hurt and I was hurt for him, God wasn’t all bad? But he wasn’t all fair and good either. This movie had its moments the thing it should’ve been alittle more
