The result of an off-screen romance between its two leads is a lifeless thriller that is neither erotic nor exciting in any sense.

It only starts to show signs of life after the first 60 minutes and needless to say, by then I didn't care about anything else the story had to offer.

You can't possibly label your work as a thriller when the absence of suspense is crippling for the whole endeavour and most of the narrative is bogged down in irrelevant sequences.

Ben Affleck keeps the same face for the entire film with no sign of wanting to do anything else, while the provocative and defiant woman Ana de Armas tries to conjure in her performance basically at almost every turn feels too forced.

Ultra disappointing. Not for nothing was it shelved and forgotten.… Expand

Really boring. I was hoping for more as I really liked Ana de Armas in Knives Out. Ben Affleck does not strike me as an actor with much range. He scowls his way through this whole movie.

He scowls his way through this whole movie. I think it is supposed to signify deep emotion under the surface but it comes off as petulant. The plot makes no sense and it is so slow paced. Instead of building tension it just makes you want to fast forward though long stretches where nothing of significance happens.
There is no one in this movie, besides the dog, that you really care about. The 2 stars are for Ana trying to make something cohesive in this mess. I hope to see her in better movies in the future.… Expand

while i love Adrian Lynne and Anna d'armas, and don't mind Affleck, this wasn't an erotic thriller as much as a confusing yawner. and i guess it goes without saying, but the trailer is misleading.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Showing someone's boobs doesn't make a film erotic, and knowing who the killer is since the beginning, and not adding another layer of mystery, disqualifies your movie as a thriller. 'Deep Water' is an absolute mess. Sam Levinson has never been a good writer, but 'Euphoria's' new season and this thing are, without a doubt, his worst screenplays to date.… Expand

I want my time back. This is easily one of the worst films I've ever had the displeasure of watching. 1 point for Ana De Armas looking great but the film itself was awful. Basically Cuckold the movie

Usually such movies at least try to have some meaning behind of what it shown in them, but this one literally was just pointless.… Expand

Sam Levinson writing this is what made me bump this film down from a 2/10 to a 1/10. It’s films like these that make me believe that he go extremely lucky in writing two good seasons of a television show but makes and writes bad movies.Sam Levinson writing this is what made me bump this film down from a 2/10 to a 1/10. It’s films like these that make me believe that he go extremely lucky in writing two good seasons of a television show but makes and writes bad movies. Everything about this film is bad. The cinematography is weak and bland, the music is incredibly forgettable and Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas aren’t very good. What really destroyed this film was the story and the writing. The writing and dialogue are atrocious. You have a 6 year old child who talks like a 40 year old man. The characters aren’t characters. They are hollow shells attempting to resemble characters but failing to do that and not because they are bad people. They are incredibly morally flawed characters but that’s not what makes me hate them. They don’t have any clear identifiable personality. They are blank slates from beginning to end and I despise it. This is true for all the characters. Jacob Elordi shows up at one point and the film makes a big deal about it but he’s gone after 30 minutes. I get that his purpose was to show Ana De Armas sleeping with other guys but why not give him a personality that rivals Ben Affleck’s if he had one. The story here is stupid. It follows Affleck’s feelings on allowing his wife to sleep with other men so it can save their relationship but it doesn’t go anywhere. The characters don’t go on any journey. They are the same at the end and not to mention how anticlimactic the story is. Don’t check this out at all. It was a complete waste of my time and it will be a complete waste of yours.… Expand

Deep Water is a very odd film.

It's not necessarilyDeep Water is a very odd film. Very odd and very frustrating, it presents a premise thats similar to Gone Girl but doesn't carry a-lot of thrills or much of anything related to an erotic thriller like say Basic Instinct. It's not necessarily a bad film, I can't really say that by any means. It's well acted but the screenplay is just so sloppy that it drops plot points almost as quickly as it introduces new ones. Affleck and Ana de Armas make the material work but Lyne's past-his-prime direction and (very) sloppy screenwriting make the film feel more like a missed opportunity than anything else. For me, at least.… Expand

Atrocious film. Nothing here makes sense, the characters are stupid, the performances aren't great and there is nothing interesting about the story. Sam Levinson got lucky when writing Euphoria.
