In a recent interview with The Independent, actress, director, and fan-favorite nepo baby Bryce Dallas Howard revealed she knows when a work she’s starring in — like the Shyamalan flop Lady in the Water or the baffling spy movie Argylle — is going to be a failure at the box office. “You can always see it coming while you’re making it,” Howard said. “I’ve never been shocked when something doesn’t work.”
Her latest movie, Deep Cover, seems like it would have alerted those same red flags. It’s a straight-to-streaming action comedy with four credited writers and a very strange premise. But clearly, it didn’t, because this isn’t just better than most Prime Video original movies — in fact, it may be the best action-comedy thriller in years.
