How does an ex-con get a job in California that lets him carry a gun? California requires a license for security guards to carry a fire arm when working. And the first shoot out was a joke. Every body shooting back and forth, and with all of the missed shots, no bystanders got hit. No police show up. The girl runs off in a tight dress and high heels. The only thing good about this movie was the classic cars. Don't people in California even know how to properly hold a hand gun when shooting it? All told, I guess the gang bangers liked it. The only thing waist deep was all of the cow manure in the script and story lines.

"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 ****

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.

OK, my Mrs wanted to watch it for a few days but I thought it was going to be the usual muscle bound stuff which is synonymous with a Tyrese title. But was I wrong. The film captures you from the off with good sounds and fast moving filming. The story is predictable but enjoyable and left me with a nice taste in my mouth. Unfortunately it has taken Tyrese almost 20 years from his coke advert to finally make a film in which we see a little talent. In closing I was very happy because with a film like this you can only score on action but they were some strong roles (not award winning but there hasn't been much of that lately anyhow).
