646f9e108c A cop goes undercover in a South Carolina high school. With the help of a local narcotics officer, he investigates the drug ring responsible for another cop's death.
For me, "Undercover" is something like the unfunny version of "Plain Clothes," and it is the second film of writer/director John Stockwell (you may remember him best as car jock Harlan in "My Science Project"). Two cops out of Louisiana play Narcs to a South Carolina high school after a murder erupts and a local drug ring is considered prime suspect. There are some action moments, but sometimes this movie is slower than the southern heat the characters wade through. However, despite the rather cumbersome plot, this movie may be appealing to fans of obscure 80s action/dramas, fans of John Stockwell who may be interested in his earlier work (and although he wears the hat of both writer and director in this film, he does have a blink-and-you-miss-him role on the television someone is watching), and it may also appeal to fans of other 80s acting favorites (Jennifer Jason Lee and "North Shore's" John Philbin, in particular). This is more like the type of a movie you would watch because of who is in it.<br/><br/>If you enjoy the story, I would recommend "Plain Clothes," a comedy starring Arliss Howard and Seymour Cassel in a similar story: after a teacher is mysteriously found dead and a cop's brother is prime suspect, he goes undercover to investigate at a local high school. At least you'll get some laughs from the second one (which also features my other 80s favorite, Max Perlich).<br/><br/>Undercover isn't great, but for some, there may be reason to watch it (if you can find it).
Yes, it's dumb. And predictable. And the production values are bad (not to mention the continuity). But, darn it, I just love this little flick! The clothes and hair! This was when I first fell in love with Jennifer Jason Leigh - all hot and sweaty with the Louisana heat! The locale is captured nicely, and they obviously all know this isn't "Lawrence of Arabia" or anything.<br/><br/>But I know what really makes this movie stick in mind is the Todd Rundgren score ("Hello, it's me. You-oo-ooo, you know that I'd be with you if I could ...") His first full score, I believe.<br/><br/>Great to put on in the background while you work on another project.
