“For me, it’s just exciting to see the progression of Omar Cook and Adonis Armstrong as filmmakers. I have had the pleasure of reviewing several of their short films and what’s clear is they take their craft very seriously. There’s a vision in the kind of stories they write and how they want to tell them — even with the budget they’ve been given. They’ve also got a solid ensemble to pull from. The best part is that these guys are evolving, and LA Undercover is their first feature film.”
— Alan Ng, FILM THREAT
“Cook and Armstrong have delivered a wonderful independent movie and are quickly becoming a voice that deserves to be heard by a much larger audience.”
— Jolly Moel, SCREEN CRITIX
“Cook and his partner in crime Armstrong (co-writer and director) seem to be creating a great team with original and independent films and I feel it won’t be long until they are given a chance with a bigger budget and I for one, can’t wait to watch.”
— Matthew Sawyer, ASK ABOUT MY FILM
