Waist Deep Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Waist Deep is a hip, hard genre picture that begins well, but quickly gets in over its head.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Sometimes excessiveness and implausibility are virtues in disguise. Movies this enjoyable don't come about by accident.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
[Hall] undermines the early style and intelligence of his all-black action movie, taking audiences for the wrong kind of ride in the end.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The Game attempts to exude menace through hardcore forehead-wrinkling and gangsta nose-crinkling, but his efforts are more comic than sinister.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Nothing in this story is remotely realistic, and the target audience for urban dramas -- teenage boys -- won't know what to make of its mushy romantic center.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
The film is noteworthy for its tiny if incomplete effort to pour old wine in a new bottle.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
Curtis Hall keeps slipping in surprising social and emotional flavorings rarely found in [this] genre.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
[Director Hall] has proved he is as good with actors as he is at staging action sequences and creating tension.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
By teasing us with potential meaning only to embrace wanton gunplay, Waist Deep betrays thinking members in the audience.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A cynical excuse for the writer and director (and talented actor) Vondie Curtis-Hall to sock some money away for the kids' college tuition.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
All of the familiar urban stereotypes and clichés are out in force.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Everyone connected with this gangsta opus was probably trying to make a crowd-pleaser. However, you wind up wondering what kind of crowds they were trying to please.
Detroit News
Tom Long
If you're looking for gunning gangsta action on a hot summer night, Waist Deep is an effective-enough story of urban outlaws in love and on the run. It's sweet, sweaty stuff, for a while at least.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Vondie Curtis Hall helmed Gridlock'd, a low-budget buddy thriller starring Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth, with nary a rote moment. This is not the case with Waist Deep, a big-budget thriller with nary an original moment.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
The efforts of Waist Deep to make some meaningful social commentary about street gangs and the vicious circle in which African-American men often find themselves seem like an afterthought, rather than anything remotely sincere.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
It plays like an urban western: a strong, quiet loner takes on a corrupt man who runs the town with the help of a girl gone wrong with a heart of gold.
Village Voice
Bill Gallo
For its ever shifting attitudes toward men, women, and murder, Waist Deep is one of the sloppiest movies ever to reach the screen.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
A solidly crafted piece of genre filmmaking.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Instead of tightening up its storyline, Waist Deep gets more outlandish with its plot complications.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
A mean and depressing B-movie in which there's no one to root for or even care about.
