本片是Netflix 2019年荷兰热门罪案剧《Undercover》前传，男主Ferry Bouman 是国际臭名昭著的DP 大亨，运作管理着世界最大的化学品XTC (ecstasy) 网络之一。这次故事讲的是他功成名就前的故事。尽管影片不是一部爱情电影，但是导演还是讲了一个爱的故事： 爱可以感化一个人。。它让人们情感更加丰富。。不仅生活更具意义和易趣、同时它也让人们畏惧失去。

故事男主 Ferry Bouman (Frank Lammers) 人到中年，为阿姆斯特丹一drug lord - Ralph Brink充当打手、生活优渥。与此同时，由于他与亲身父亲关系不佳 ，所以移情视老板Brink 如父。

一日老板仓库被劫，Brink 怒火中烧、命令Ferry 彻查此事。于是后者通过CCTV 视频记录查到小混混 Jason Kant 可疑。。。期间男主邂逅了他的爱人 Danielle (Elise Schaap) 。。。。此后男主同学计划不仅要顺藤摸瓜惩罚犯事者、而且要揪出透露消息教唆行事的帮派。 可惜，Ferry 发现始作俑者却是 Brink自己宝贝儿子 Mattijs，这个倒霉蛋在之前事故中被误杀身亡。同时，Ferry 也发现爱人 Danielle的兄弟Lars 是第三个劫匪。。于是男主饶其一命、瞒过了老板Brink ，但是他不得不与Danielle 分手。。。。然而两个月后Danielle 与友人到阿姆斯特丹游玩时又与Ferry 不期而遇。

此时，他的老板也从 Ferry异常行为以及 其他蛛丝马迹中发现了问题，Ferry只能向老板坦白了一切。。。。可是在Brink 要求Ferry去追杀Lars时， Ferry 同学不仅拒绝了。。。爱情战胜了野心：男主火拼掉 Brink后与 亲亲Danielle爱人离开阿姆斯特丹。

The movie shows are nothing new, in other words, Ferry is not breaking any new ground. This film, however, is enjoyable as a stand-alone crime saga, even for people who may not seen the hit Netflix series Undercover. Writers Nico Moolenaar (who also created Undercover) and Bart Uytdenhouwen carry the legacy of the series to this origin story of Ferry Bouman, with the twist that Ferry himself goes undercover as a campsite resident in order to hunt down the people who shot at his boss son. There’s enough earnestness in the screenplay, but the film also looks at how, beneath the tough exterior and menacing bursts of violence, Ferry is a human being with his own flaws and insecurities.

What is more, the film constantly shifts between bursts of violence and the love story between Ferry and Danielle, but the way it does is perfectly seamless. Director Cecilia Verheyden invests Ferry with enough time and space for the characters to breathe, and if you’ve watched the original series, this film offers you enough bits to leave you satiated. The only time the film falters is during the final moments, where Ferry’s destiny takes a new course. Overall, though, this film is an enjoyable potboiler.

个人觉得作为热门剧的前传电影，《 卧底：费瑞崛起》还是蛮有粉丝向的作品。。。至少他没把男主换一个年轻貌美的演员，故事承上启下与前作基本一致。至于其他的，只要爱情故事说的浪漫、黑帮场面过瘾、对爆米花电影而言也就合格啦！
