When a down-on-her-luck improv comedy instructor (Bryce Dallas Howard) and a pair of her misguided students (Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed) are recruited to go undercover and bust petty criminals, the offer seems like a unique opportunity. But when one of them decides to go off book, they suddenly find themselves trapped in an escalating London gang war where their “yes and…” skills do more harm than good. As they scramble to maintain their cover as hardened criminals, their real lives start to bleed dangerously close to their underworld personas until the trio finds unexpected allies — and even more unexpected enemies — in dark corners. The unlikely team is forced to confront their individual lives in a whole new way, asking themselves what comes next… if they make it out alive.

A thrilling and clever action comedy, Deep Cover packs an impressive punch of on-screen British talent, including Sean Bean, Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno and Ian McShane.—Liza Domnitz
