In the urban action thriller Waist Deep, director Vondie Curtis Hall (Redemption) takes audiences on a ride through contemporary Los Angeles - where a sexy 21st-century Bonnie and Clyde hit the streets. "I'll always come back for you," single father O2 (Tyrese Gibson of Four Brothers) tells his young son Junior (screen newcomer H. Hunter Hall). This parental promise is put to the test when O2 is suddenly plunged into a do-or-die situation; trying to go straight for Junior's sake, this recently paroled ex-con is forced to go back outside the law after his son is kidnapped in a carjacking. The resulting chase and shootout have left Junior in the hands of Meat (hip-hop superstar The Game, in his feature debut), the vicious leader of the Outlaw Syndicate. O2's shady cousin Lucky (Larenz Tate of Crash) tries to mediate, but is caught between criminal and family loyalties. The only person who can or will help O2 get his son back is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Meagan Good of You Got Served), whose path fatefully crossed O2's just moments before the kidnapping. When Lucky gets word to O2 that Meat expects $100,000 for Junior's freedom, O2 and Coco seize the opportunity to pit rival elements of the South Los Angeles underworld against each other. "It's either all or nothing," realizes O2. With the clock ticking down, the heat between O2 and Coco rises as they become a lawbreaking couple, on an action-packed tear through a range of Los Angeles neighborhoods. Can they outwit the underworld and save Junior and themselves?

wist deep review by keiran (Reading)-(England)

[Highly rated reviewer]

Well i bought this last week from woolworths to watch in the afternoon thinking it was just another action film.

But it wasn't, one of the best films i have seen in a long time !!!

Its about a x-con trying to sort out his life for his kid , but something goes terribly wrong. He picks his kid up from school after work there driving down the streets of L.A , they stop at a red light a car full of gang members decides to steal his car with his kid asleep in the back !!!

He does everything he possibly can to get his kid back from the gang members STOPPING AT NOTHING!!! No care for his life or others all he wants is his son back!

featuring Tyrese Gibson ( 2 fast 2 furious)

The Game

Really!!!! You couldn't have thought of a better ending!

By Elekat (22 reviews) , 20 Aug 2011

Tyrese Gibson,is not the best of actors (nor the worse!) and has been in some ok flicks, it helps being sexy eye candy! So I thought it's worth a watch!

Plus it was nice to see Larenz Tate, although he was playing a very small part as some wasteman family member in the film!

I was expecting this to be some unbelievable ganster flop, but it was actually quite good! There is one moment where you feel the characters anger and despair!

It has a ok storyline which comes together nicely, but the end is CHEESY! Come on!!

If you are a fan of urban movies your probably really enjoy this, hence the 3 stars!

Kind of cool hip hop gangsgta stuff. The plot was ok; nothing new but not bad. The Game was surprisingly good in playing the scary mafia gangster & Tyrese was hot as usual. Nothing special but it's ok for a quiet nite in.

Disappointing film

By filmanation (34 reviews) from Slough , 19 Sep 2010

I was expectiing a pulsating action film with depth an realism, unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. The acting was out of sorts and expected more from other actors instead of depending on Tyrese to do a one man show. It's an okay film but doesn't live up to any of the action films out here at the moment which is a shame.

A most watch film. Tyrese Gibson so good looking and plays the part very will. An intense film, a single father trying to be there for his son.
