DEEP COVER MOVIE REVIEW
The Screener Squad gathers in the One Of Us backroom to chat in secret about this comedic crime caper, Deep Cover. Kat Boyles (Bryce Dallas Howard) is a struggling improv teacher turned undercover asset for the London police. Recruited by Detective Sergeant Graham Billings (Sean Bean), Kat brings along two unlikely partners—an intense wannabe thespian (Orlando Bloom) and an awkward IT worker (Nick Mohammed)—to pose as criminals in a sting operation. But their improv skills lead them to better success than planned as they accidentally infiltrate a major criminal operation led by a boss named Fly (Paddy Considine). What starts as a minor assignment snowballs into full-on bloody slapstick as the trio becomes too convincing for their own good. T.C. The Mastermind, alongside Lewayne “The Pencil” and Melina “The Animal Wrangler” break down the film’s mix of sharp performances and improv-fueled chaos.

STARRING: Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Nick Mohammed, Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Ian McShane, Sean Bean, Ben Ashenden, Alexander Owen, Omid Djalili, Nneka Okoye, Freya Parker, Sophie Duker, Susannah Fielding, Katy Wix

Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
