good movie. fast action paced drama about a father doing whatever it takes to save his kidnapped son. there is a lot of language in the film, mainly f words. violence consists of an arm getting cut off with the result being a limb. it bleeds but its nothing to severe. there is not any sexual content to be concerned of. a little kissing but nothign you would not find in a pg13. the soundtrack is almost all rap. parents that are concerned should mostly be concerned with the language found throughout, the violence is there although in my opinion it is not over the top. i cannot remember evrything because i have not seen it since it first came out, but overall good movie. it deserved the R rating it received.

What Parents Need to Know
About Waist Deep
Parents need to know that this movie isn't for kids. It includes frequent and graphic violence, as well as incessant profanity (over 90 "f--k"s, for starters). The film begins with a carjacking that becomes a kidnapping. It includes multiple shoot-outs and car chases, with blood shown. The chief villain first appears chopping off a man's arm with a machete (bloody arm and stump visible). The protagonists break into a home to hide out, rob several banks in one day, and share a brief sex scene (close-ups of limbs and faces). A woman smokes cigarettes, drugs are smoked and dealt, and one character drinks malt liquor from a bottle while driving.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the father's dedication to his son: How does his promise to "always come back for" Junior motivate his illegal actions throughout the film? Why does O2's cousin fail to keep his promises? How does Coco's relationship with O2 inspire her to quit her street hustling and become maternal for Junior? How does the movie's background activity -- the demonstration to "Save Our Streets" -- compete and coincide with O2's apparently necessary violence?
