History Film / WaistDeep

* {{Hypocrite}}: Otis beats the shit out of Coco's BastardBoyfriend for smacking her, taking offense to him "putting his hands on a woman". Keep in mind that Otis just chased Coco down, grabbed her aggressively, and ''pointed a gun in her face''.

* BastardBoyfriend: Coco's boyfriend finds her in a chop shop and immediately starts beating her up. Thankfully, Otis interrupts [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown rather violently]].

''Waist Deep'' is a 2006 American action drama film directed by Creator/VondieCurtisHall. It is loosely based on the 1967 film ''Film/BonnieAndClyde''. Otis "O2" Samuel (Creator/TyreseGibson) is an ex-convict attempting to turn his life around after his stint in jail, working as a security guard. He leaves work early as his cousin, "Lucky" (Creator/LarenzTate), is late to pick up his son, Otis Jr., in his place. When he rushes to pick him up, Junior ominously asks his father what would happen if he were to never show up. [[TemptingFate Otis reassures him that such a scenario will never happen]]. Soon after, a woman (Creator/MeaganGood) named Coco tries to sell him some clothes by the red light, which he brushes off. And even sooner after that, a man carjacks him with Junior still in the backseat. Otis runs after him but fails to catch up. He spots Coco within a crowd and stops her, forcing her to help him track down the kidnapper. It turns out that she works for a [[ItMakesSenseInContext clothes... pimp]] named "P-Money" who forces women to sell stolen clothes on the streets, and the kidnapper works for the leader of a large gang, named "Big Meat" (Music/TheGame), who was Otis' former partner, and is holding Junior for ransom; specifically, the $100K he believes Otis has stashed somewhere. Otis and Coco team up in order to make ends meet for their respective goals by midnight of the next night.

* RecycledInSpace: Bonnie and Clyde IN THE HOOD!

* AbortedArc: Otis and Coco try to instigate a MobWar between Big Meat and P-Money. We never see it happen, and it's completely forgotten about halfway into the movie.
