Lawrence Fishburne is almost always excellent, but in my opinion one of his finest performances was in the early 90's classic Deep Cover. The film was quite original at the time and was presented in an intelligent manner. Deep Cover was directed by Bill Duke, who you might remember from action classics Predator and Commando. While Deep Cover has its share of action, it is a very gritty and absorbing crime thriller. Lawrence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum started out playing gutter trash thugs in the Death Wish series. Here they play more fully fleshed out characters in a movie that looks at crime in a different way. Lawrence Fishburne goes so deep undercover, it seems like he can never go back.As a whole, I found Deep Cover to be excellent. If you like cop or mob movies, you should take a look at Deep Cover.
