Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOmar Epps mentioned in several interviews that he greatly disliked the denim Levi's clothes he and the cast had to wear because the jeans were very tight. He mentioned that there are several moments captured on screen during film where he wears a frown and grimace facial expression due to his jeans being too tight. The clothing in the film was specifically customized and provided by Levi's. When the film was released, Levi's put out denim commercials featuring Epps, Danes, and Ribisi.
- GoofsNear the end, Peter Cochran and Julie Barnes jump out of a moving vehicle that crashes into an almost empty warehouse. After it crashes through one wall, you can hear tires screeching as if someone had slammed on the brakes. However, no one was in the vehicle to do so.

Julie: You just blended your ass right out of the club, man
Pete: Oh, come on! They're gonna let me back in the club.

The worst part about employing young undercover cops is they binge drink at house parties and break cover.
Thankfully, the covert trio in this action movie are too busy tracking a killer to attend ragers.
Opting to work for the police in a new department instead of serving time, Julie (Claire Danes), Pete (Giovanni Ribisi) and Linc (Omar Epps) are trained in the art of infiltration by their mentor Capt. Greer (Dennis Farina).
But when Greer ends up on the wrong side of a drug lord's gun, the motley crew must bring his killer to justice.
A slapdash adaptation of the groundbreaking counterculture cop drama from the '60s, this 1999 version lacks the social and political undercurrent of its source material.
Instead, it's a lifeless and shoddily acted knock-off - similar to the original in name only.
Besides, immature undercover officers today can't stop posting on Twitter about being undercover.
