The best British comedy right now. You definitely weren't expecting a film like this with Orlando Bloom

From time to time, streaming does deliver something truly worthwhile — and this is exactly one of those cases.

"Deep Cover" launched June 12th on Amazon Prime Video and just hit digital platforms. So what exactly is this film that manages to be spy thriller, absurd comedy, and genuinely funny all at once?

Simple: three improv actors accidentally find themselves at the center of a police operation. They're invited to help stage some arrests... but within days they're neck-deep in London's criminal underworld. And they seem to actually believe it themselves.

Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom , and Nick Mohammed take the lead roles — and everything clicks. The energy, the chemistry between actors, brilliant comedic timing, and a sharp understanding of how to make even basic gags feel fresh.

Bloom's especially good here. I absolutely didn't expect to see him in this kind of role. Orlando's character is a theatrical snob who turns every scene into a mini-performance.

Critics are loving it too. On Rotten Tomatoes — 89% fresh. "The film doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but delivers an hour and a half of pure enjoyment," writes Manuel San-Bentu from "Movies We Texted About." And Dais Johnston from "Inverse" straight-up calls it the best action-comedy in years.

But audiences are catching the wave too: "Laughed out loud," admits one viewer. "Best thing I've seen on Prime all year," writes another. And maybe the most spot-on take comes from a Rotten Tomatoes user named MB C: "Deep Cover doesn't pretend to make sense, and that's its charm."

Yeah, that's the strength right there. The film doesn't try to be anything it's not — it just entertains, smartly and full-throttle.

Plus — no bathroom humor, no crude jokes. Everything rides on situation, performance, and pacing. The 100 minutes fly by, and somewhere around the halfway point you realize: "I haven't checked my phone once."

If you want a comedy that's not afraid to be weird, actors who are clearly having a blast, and a script that actually holds together — definitely fire up Deep Cover. Can't wait for the sequel. Earlier on zoomboola.com we covered another new film — "Final Destination: Bloodlines," which turned out to be the best sequel since the original.
