waist deep was a better movie than I expected, it had a good story of an ex-convict trying to be good but when his son gets kidnapped he has to find him by any means. Two things wrong with this movie though, one: it had way too much bad language it was like between every line there was a swear word being said. Second: it had stupid names like the girl was called Coco, the father was O2, his brother was Lucky and the bad guy in the movie was called Big Meat and some rich bad guy was called P-Money. Weird names and too much swearing but good movie. It is also a really moving story with a twist at the end of the movie. My rating for this movie is 8/10.

this movie isn't that good it is one of those movies that you could probably wait until it comes on hbo or something not worth buying some people here thought this was the best movie but obviously they don't watch movies or know about any good ones the game can't act and the girl just wasn't good either it was not a movie for theaters it should have gone straight to DVD it wasn't a believable drama or action flick but thats what you would expect but I think they promoted it too much. The ending was one of the worst getting chased by the cops while his friend dies then going in the river and the next he's in Mexico it's a long swim that movie just needs a rewrite or a better director all in all don't waste your money.

'Waist Deep' is another LA located action movie, that never aspires to be more, but is trying hard and partially succeeding in not being too bad in its genre. The background is of a heat soaked LA, where real crime melts freely with gore fiction crime. The hero played by Tyrese Gibson is an ex-convict whose son is kidnapped for ransom and for other reasons the viewer will learn later. When a 100,000 dollars ransom is asked the father has not any alternative but to return to crime in order to get the money. The first 60 or 70 minutes of the film will describe his run to get the money, the rest is melodrama and moralistic filling.It's not that bad if an action movie is what you are after. Director Vondie Curtis-Hall shows a sure hand in the action scenes, editing is good, so is cinematography, although the film seems to hesitate whether to make out of the social landscape of the crime infested LA a real commentary or just a background element. Acting is decent, with Gibson and Meagan Good as his female counterpart doing their best which is not too much in acting skills but alright on screen presence. Overall it's not the worst entertainment in its genre.

"O2" (Tyrese Gibson) is trying to put his life back into pieces. But when his car gets hijacked, with his son in the backseat, his experience from the past comes well in hand... The only problem is that it takes 100.000 dollars to get his son back, a 100.000 dollars that he don't have and have to come up with within 2 days.A very well written script with a lot of gangster/hood/gangrelated stuff innit. Tyrese Gibson does a good job and so does, the attractive Meagan Good. This is a film for all you cats out there loving the hip-hop-culture & and some of the gangstershit that comes withinnit.Soo, get your ass out from the couch and get.... - watch it - dig it!
