BODY & SOUL all February. Black directors with black leads and today’s discussion is of a dripping Neo noir that is sometimes insane and funny but always entertaining. Actor/Director Bill Duke dropped this crime drama in the wake of the success of films like “Boyz in the Hood”. While not as prolific as those, Duke’s 1992 film “DEEP COVER” starring Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum & Clarence Williams III has earned it’s place among film appreciators as a worthy Neo-noir full of style and all the hard boiled film tropes that still hit. Fishburne goes by “John” he’s a cop deep undercover trying to take down some drug kingpins and with the help of a flashy lawyer who seems very comfortable on the streets, “John” becomes quite successful at criminality. The lines blur on every level and the politics of the war on drugs makes doing the right thing practically impossible. Is he a cop pretending to be a drug dealer or a drug dealer pretending to be a cop? Some great lines in this one. We happened to find a link to this one: https://archive.org/details/deep-cover_202404
