"Waist Deep" But Not Enough Depth
by femasia ,Jun 26 '06
Pros: Action, some thrilling moments and humor Cons: Not enough thrilling moments to pay full price
The movie was decent; the acting was better than I had expected. There was certainly a lot more graphic violence than I had even anticipated. The scenes where people's body parts were cut-off could have been portrayed just slightly less gruesome. I don't think that you need to sell a good movie based on gruesome scenes. The movie did have some sad parts; and a good number of people can probably identify with the street life, but the movie lacked depth and meaning. I did like the ending, albeit a bit unrealistic that the main actor survived the accident and also avoided the police. Unless you really like the actors and go to see them, I would wait for this movie to come out on DVD rental. The female actor (main character) was quite beautiful.
