Best Action Comedy of 2025 Starring ‘Ted Lasso’ Actor and 90% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes

Amazon Prime Video recently released “Deep Cover,” a crime comedy that has quickly become the second most-watched on the platform and received rave reviews from critics. If you’re in the mood for some funny and witty entertainment, this film might be the perfect choice.

“Deep Cover” follows the story of Kat, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, a stand-up comedian who ends up teaching at an improv club in London. Orlando Bloom stars as Marlon, a former dramatic actor now doing commercials, while Nick Mohammed from Ted Lasso plays Hugh, an IT specialist looking to improve his social skills. Their lives take a turn when they are offered £200 to infiltrate a criminal gang led by drug lord Fly.

Directed by Tom Kingsley, known for his work on “Ghosts,” “This Is Going to Hurt,” and Doctor Who episodes, “Deep Cover” is a high-quality, funny, and delightfully silly crime comedy that promises to entertain.

The film is worth watching not only for its engaging plot but also for the brilliant performances of the cast. Bryce Dallas Howard brings charm and confidence to her role, while Orlando Bloom adds a touch of self-irony in portraying a method actor. Nick Mohammed shines with his awkwardly funny moments throughout the movie.

Critics and viewers alike have praised “Deep Cover,” with a 90% rating from critics and 79% from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. Empire critic Ben Travis gave it four out of five stars, commending its strong characterizations, twisty crime story, and excellent performances.

For fans of The Lord of the Rings, “Deep Cover” is a treat as it reunites Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean on screen for the first time since The Fellowship of the Ring. Don’t miss out on this action comedy that promises a good time!
