Sean Bean’s new “twisty” British crime movie with “hugely talented cast” is available to watch at home now

Sean Bean’s new British crime comedy movie Deep Cover has become available to watch at home.

As a gaming aficionado diving into this narrative, it revolves around three improv artists in the heart of London who find themselves drawn into a web of crime by the local law enforcement, with an intriguing twist: they’re tasked with undercover work to infiltrate a notorious criminal syndicate. Notably, this tale also stars my fellow Middle-earth adventurer Orlando Bloom from The Lord of the Rings, the captivating Bryce Dallas Howard known for her role in Jurassic World, and the witty Nick Mohammed hailing from Ted Lasso.

Viewers of Amazon’s Prime Video service now have a chance to watch “Deep Cover” at no cost, as the film has been made available on the streaming platform starting today.

The movie has thus far been generally well-received by critics, as Empire magazine comments that it offers solid character development, an intricate crime plot, and impressive acting.

The movie, Digital Mafia Talkies, is considered by some as “definitely worth checking out, mainly due to its exceptionally skilled ensemble cast.” Paddy Considine and Ian McShane are among the talented actors featured in this film. Additionally, Flick Feast describes it as a “fun, crowd-pleasing flick that will resonate with fans of contemporary British humor, with Bloom particularly shining brightly.

Deep Cover, according to Nerdspin, offers a quick-witted and amusing plot, backed by an impressive ensemble who deliver their lines with impeccable comedic rhythm. It’s a delightful, albeit predictable, viewing experience tailored for today’s streaming platforms.

In a conversation with Digital Spy regarding the film, Bloom openly shared his enjoyment in portraying a character who is deeply committed and serious about acting.

I find it absolutely wonderful,” I express, acknowledging that falling into the trap of taking oneself too seriously is something quite effortless, a pitfall I’ve likely stumbled upon myself in the past. The prospect of joining in was irresistible because all it required was maintaining an air of grave seriousness.

Picture me, fresh from drama school, feeling down about the lack of progress in my career and longing for a more fulfilling life.”

This version maintains the original’s meaning while sounding more conversational and easy to read.

He commented: “It brought back memories of how fortunate we are to be engaged in our work. However, it certainly wasn’t a difficult task. I experienced the agony of an unemployed actor yearning for employment – yet we were all facing similar struggles.

Deep Cover is available to stream now on Prime Video.
