Amazon recently released a new movie called Deep Cover which I'd like to recommend. I'm a little at a loss how to describe it but an
action-comedy may suffice.
It's set in London. An American would-be comedienne and improv teacher,
played by Bryce Dallas Howard, whose career is on life support and two
of her British students, played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed, find themselves recruited to work a minor undercover mission for the police
but far exceed expectations by inadvertently finding a very big drug
ring that gets their police officer boss, played Sean Bean, very
excited. I won't spoil the rest but I will say that the improvisers use
skills even they doubted they had to make England safer than it was.
The only other cast member I recognized was Ian McShane playing
Metcalfe, the leader of a major gang. But the rest of the cast does a
good job as well.
IMDB rates this 6.7, which seems low to me. I enjoyed this and didn't
regret spending 100 minutes with it.
