Bis zum Hals (2006)
14KBis zum Hals: Directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall. With Tyrese Gibson, Shawn Parr, Henry Hunter Hall, Johnny C. Pruitt. An ex-convict (Tyrese) gets tangled up with a gang after his car is hijacked with his son inside.
“An ex-con (Tyrese Gibson) trying to go straight is pulled back into the life after his young son (Henry Hunter Hall) is kidnapped by an urban gang led by a sadistic machete-wielding boss (The Game). Throw in red-hot small-time hustler Meagan Good and borderline alcoholic Larenz Tate (as Gibsonu0026#39;s inept cousin) and we have a typical modern-day crime picture that has lots more bullets than brains. Gibson and Good make an alluring couple, but neither have much talent in the end. The Game is down-right creepy and Tate seems like he is just going through the motions after successful roles in u0026quot;Rayu0026quot; and u0026quot;Crashu0026quot;. u0026quot;Waist Deepu0026quot; stays at an adequate spot for a good portion of its running time, but then finally sinks with an unwanted and ridiculous final act. Will definitely be mentioned with the lesser productions of the year. 2 stars out of 5.”
