Review of Waist Deep

Waist Deep (2006)
1/10
This movie was the worst movie I ever tried to see
4 July 2006
I had the opportunity to read the script before it was in production. I thought the story was good and anticipated the movie. I was sat through 20 minutes of the movie and walked out. I was getting sick from the camera movement. there seemed to be not one steady shot, the camera was ALL over the place. I don't know if the director wanted a chaotic feel to the movie or what. It looked like the camera operator was either on crack, drunk or scared to be in the section of town he was in, or maybe he had turrets. The photography was to tight Extreme close ups for almost every line of dialog made me want to move further back in the theater; to bad I was in the very back. It was so close at times I could see straight into the pores on the actors faces. the editing looked as if it was done by a 1st quarter film student, learning how to use final cut. when 02's son was kidnapped and the car was speeding away, the jump cuts to show the car moving further was completely overdone and looked amateur. I don't know what they were trying to do but they failed, unless they were trying to make a joke, if so they still didn't succeed. the wholes, grammar and spelling mistakes in the script should of been a warning as to the movie. but oh well.
