But then, sometimes it’s just nice to know you’re watching a movie. Movies that dare, through visual cunning and skillful storytelling, to transport an audience beyond itself and in so doing to allow the viewer his supreme pleasure: the suspension of disbelief. There are movies that attempt great artistic feats. (RoRo, Pa, B, PC, LLL, VVV, SS, N, A, D, MM) Strong Romantic worldview with pagan elements promoting the ideas that society is corrupt and if you want something done, you’ve got to do it yourself because you have the power within you and you shouldn’t trust authority, with some light moral elements such as human love conquers all and fidelity between father and son, plus some politically correct, liberal content about crime and punishment very strong language including dozens of uses of the “F” word and “N” word very strong violence including several gun battles in which people are shot and bleed, a man gets his hand cut off with a machete, several scenes of punching and kicking, a boy is backhanded, guns are pointed in people’s faces, a bullet wound is shown briefly up-close one fairly explicit, but brief sex scene, woman tries to seduce a cop lots of cleavage, close-ups of female bodies and legs, with no outright nudity but very suggestive shots some alcohol use cigarette and cigar smoking in several scenes and, distrust and fear of police, illegal behavior is excused, evasion of police, and car chases. WAIST DEEP also contains an excessive amount of violence and foul language. What emerges is an essentially pagan worldview that teaches the world is corrupt so don’t trust authority if you want something done you’ve got to do it yourself because you have the power within yourself human love conquers all and, of course, robbing banks is easy if you have someone making a scene at the teller window.

Here’s the official synopsis from Pixar:īlindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. Lightning McQueen as the aging racer who’s not quite ready to quit the track-this is perhaps the angle that will make Cars 3 the standout in the franchise, giving us a weathered, beaten down protagonist to root for. This matchup looks so uneven they might as well be racing in Russia: ![]() In the Cars 3 version you'll see in the new trailer, it’s Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) as Rocky, the aging, former champ, and the turbo-charged, technologically advanced and much younger Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer) as Drago. Of course, what Rocky had that Drago couldn't match was heart-and the ability to haul logs through waist-deep snow.
