Action-Comedy Deep Cover Stars Howard, Bloom Stream Prime Video

Deep Cover is a darkly comic action-comedy film now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, featuring Bryce Dallas Howard as an American improv comedy teacher and Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed as her students who get involved in undercover police work using their improv skills. Directed by Tom Kingsley and produced by Colin Trevorrow, the film has been praised for its inspired humor and unique ensemble cast, including notable actors like Sean Bean and Paddy Considine. The story follows three aimless and somewhat lonely characters who find purpose when recruited by a grizzled cop to help bust a counterfeit crime ring through improvised undercover work. The actors, who had limited improv experience before filming, shared that they surprisingly feel safer dealing with criminals than bombing on stage, and Bloom notably wore a wig originally made for his role in The Lord of the Rings. Interviews with the cast reveal their enjoyment of the comedic script written by British improv comedians and highlight the chemistry developed on set and the challenges of balancing comedy with action. Overall, Deep Cover blends improvisational comedy with a crime thriller premise, offering a fresh and humorous take on undercover drama.
