Leave your thoughts about Waist Deep.

| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreWaist Deep is a hip, hard genre picture that begins well, but quickly gets in over its head. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingCurtis Hall keeps slipping in surprising social and emotional flavorings rarely found in the genre. |
| MovieholeClint Morris"Die Hard" meets "Boyz N'The Hood". Audaciously enthralling |
