Remy Lig- Maria Hiaasen 'Cover' delves into dark drug world By MICHAEL MILLS Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Deep Cover is a knock-out action movie, witfi enough bloody violence to startle even the most jaded moviegoer. But there's much more to it. On another level, it's a gritty existential character study of a man whose sense of self is thrown into dramatic disarray when his ability to distinguish between right and wrong is shattered. That man is Russell Stevens Jr. (Larry Fishburne), a Cleveland cop recruited by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

A shrewd, icy bureaucrat (Charles Martin Smith! brings Stevens to Los Angeles and gives him an As John Q. Hull, he's assigned to infiltrate the upper; echelons of a South American drug cartel that controls! nearly half of L.A.'s cocaine market. 1 The setup is similar to that of Rush, in which cops; pose as pushers to get the goods on a drug lord. But the stakes here are much higher. Hull's ultimate target is a' powerful foreign politician whose nephew runs the" cartel.

The DEA operation aims to discredit the polbf linking him to the international drug trade. What distinguishes Deep Cover from action films that wallow in their nastiness is Hull's identity crisis, which gives the movie a moral gravity. Director Bill; Duke, who made a striking debut with A Rage 'in Harlem, uses the character to get inside the ugly-bowels of the war on drugs, and what he finds etches a harsh indictment of a system that sacrifices ethics to, expediency. Without resorting to rhetoric, Duke confronts the" ravages of high-stakes drug dealing, especially its. devastation of inner-city blacks.

His head-on approach, is agonizingly effective we empathize with Hull as he's sucked into the miasma of the underworld he thinks he can change. Fishburne gives a fierce performance, and he, narrates in dark, silky tones reminiscent of Martin Sheen's voiceover in Apocalypse Now, which, coindi-dentally, was one of Fishburne's first films. Jeff Goldblum is surprisingly good as a suave but sinister, lawyer with whom Hull enters a partnership. The intricate plot almost unravels in the last third, and some of its strands don't bear scrutiny. But most of its length, Deep Cover is that rarity in American movies these days an action picture with intelligence and a sense of purpose.

One of her most memorable occurred when she was a substitute teacher for an infant school and orphanage in New South Wales, Australia. "Three aborigine girls who spoke little English had just been brought in from the outback," Mary Elizabeth said. "They were unable to understand any math concepts, so I was asked to work with them on simple addition problems.

After some frustrating times, I realized I needed to look at the situation from their cultural perspective. I used a form of tallying used by some primitive tribes. It worked, and as the girls caught on, I could see joy in their eyes." you, Mary Elfacabelh, for ineking a difference. Vl-P.
