"Film noir hits the mean streets of 1990s Los Angeles in this stylish and subversive underworld odyssey from veteran actor-director Bill Duke. Laurence Fishburne stars as Russell Stevens, a police officer who goes undercover as 'John Hull,' the partner of a dangerously ambitious cocaine trafficker (Jeff Goldblum), in order to bring down a powerful Latin American drug ring operating in LA. 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 and featuring Dr. Dre's debut solo single, Deep Cover is an unsung gem of the nineties' Black cinemal 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.

Rating: R; for violence, language, drug use, and sensuality.

Blu-ray, region A; wide screen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); 2.0 surround sound.
