Blu-ray Review Deep Cover – Criterion Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

After breaking into show business as an actor, Bill Duke helped to blaze a new path forward during the 1980’s. As one of the first African American directors working in television, he cut his teeth directing episodes of shows like Dallas, Knots Landing, Miami Vice, Falcon Crest and Hill Street Blues; he also directed his first movie – also for TV – The Killing Floor (1984). Expanding into theatrical films in the 1990’s, he attracted notice with A Rage in Harlem (1991), which was considered for the Palme d’Or at Cannes; Deep Cover was his follow up. Previously released on DVD during the early days of the format by New Line, Criterion has brought it back into print for its Blu-ray debut.

I probably hadn't seen this since it was first on cable and seeing it again, I was surprised by how good it was. It's got an excellent cast and Larry Fishburne is fantastic.

Picked this up on the last day of the B&N sale and looking forward to watching it this week. Hope it’s as good as Smooth Talk which I watched last week, another hidden gem

Great news. I can't wait to replace my aging DVD of this great and underrated film. "The money don't know where it come from."
