In South Los Angeles, while bringing his beloved son Junior back home from school, the paroled ex-convicted O2 promises his son that he would always come back to him and never leave him alone. I gotta say Meagan Good to me is the hottest most sexiest black woman alive, her lips are perfect meant to be kissed, what a body, smoking HOT! ![]() I enjoyed it alot, It had a good conflict from beginning to end which kept you intrigued the whole time. Ultimately, however, the actors don't even they know where this Z-Grade piece of supposed entertainment is headed.īottom line: Knee-Deep. The cast does a fine job, hard-selling moviegoers on a preposterous story ripped from other innumerous bad B-movies. And this all begs the question: Is there really any OTHER kind of syndicates in movies like this? In the R-rated actioner/drama Waist Deep, a paroled ex-con (Gibson) whose son is kidnapped in a carjacking and a street hustler (Good) are forced into a life of armed robbery to make an impossible ransom deadline set by the vicious leader (the Game) of an evil syndicate. To exemplify this, the camera actually drifts away from the action in some scenes as if the camerman, like the audience, was also fast losing interest. Despite earnest intentions, the movie loses focus fast and drags moviegoers down with it. In fact, this reviewer's not even sure what genre this movie was aiming for: action-adventure or family drama. In fact, it doesn't even come close to licking its hobnail boots. Acting 7, editing 6, directing 8, plot 6.During Waist Deep's painfully slow climb toward its climax, one of the only white characters (taking a cue from the Wayans Brothers, all Caucasians presented in this movie are portrayed as goofy stooges), says to the title characters, "You guys are like the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde!" Well, Waist Deep never quite reaches the high plateau of Arthur Penn's 1967 masterpiece. There are some moments that are far fetched but the movie was still very entertaining and intense and I believe it gets a 7.5 rating (rounded to a 8). The relationship between Good and Gibson's character grew way to fast but still was par. Such scene is when Gibson's character is running than switches to first person as the director, Vondie Curtis-Hall, has the camera shaking constantly to give it a more dramatic feel. But the movie seemed to have heart and I believe it was directed very well. They're some hard-nosed scenes such as when I guy gets his armed chopped off for not paying back the money. ![]() Your not going to get blown away by the acting even though it was above average. Your not going to see a masterpiece after watching this film. It seemed like he just re-enacted his role in Crash. I thought Gibson did a very good job as he teamed up with the very attractive actress Meagan Good. Tyrese Gibson played the father who would very much rather forget his past and jail time so he set a good example for his kid. It was just a father trying to get his kidnapped son back. This movie didn't have the most original plot. I took this movie home the other day not really expecting to see much of a movie but I was like what the hell, I'll give it a try and was pleased. ![]()
