Waist Deep (2006)

I'll tell you why so serious

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

"Waist Deep" has the look and feel of an urban crime drama, but it delivers with mild results. The kidnapping, the gang (and gang leader) just aren't on par with most movies of its ilk. One scene that I didn't think worked at all, is when our heroes try to obtain money (from the bank) that "Meat", the gang leader, is demanding. Coco and the bank manager (at least I think he was), are arguing over a check (I don't remember why). This goes on forever and doesn't amount to anything. Because the movie is so mediocre, I really didn't care what happened to whom. There is, however, a moment I did enjoy, which was a car chase, where our hero, O2, is desperately trying to evade the police. If only the rest of the movie were this exciting.** out of ****

super, great,exciting one everyone should see. Tyrese had a strong love for his son and would do anything to keep that promise. It was a great action movie and kept me on the edge of my seat. Also, Meagan Good was a strong supporting actress and had great chemistry with Tyrese. They were a perfect match in the thriller. It had a great ending.This would be a great movie to add to your collection. I have really enjoyed this film so far have watched it 6 times since i purchased it. and will watch it again.Amsterdam, Holland

Was expecting a whole lot more from Waist Deep. It had Larenz Tate famous for O-Dog in Menace II Society plus hip hop artist the Game. The movie was super soft. Never played real. Can't blame the actors on this one. I made the mistake of watching the bonus footage with the director and producer talking about the movie. They had no idea what made a real gangster movie. Comparing cars to characters was insane. Been better if they paid more attention to what was happening in the movie then worrying about the car a certain character drove. The whole movie was silly. To bad that Larenz Tate and Game had to be involved. This was watching a director who should be doing after school specials putting out a gangster movie. What nailed the 5 for the movie was the actors.

This is not a total waist of time, as some might suggest. It is trying to relate and entertain to younger and "harder" audiences! I liked what they were trying to accomplish here! Although I could not relate in anyway.There are some unnecessary graphic violence scenes that do not add to the story line, IMHO! The one scene was meant to portrait the "baddie" as willing to do anything to have his way, all for money!The ending scene is a little over the top, especially the music. If you want to see a modern day version of Romeo & Juliette trying to accomplish the damn near impossible for sake of love then you might like this movie. Overall I'm glad I watched it!
