Aguas profundas

I'd have to say I couldn't wait for this to release. Both leads are great actors, and they delivered in this. The story started to have a few glaring holes in from about mid way, but the basic principle was sort of believable.

We decided st the end of the film that the child actor stole the show, she was hysterical, brilliant and I suspect a star in the making.

Make sure you watch past the ending very funny addition.

I think it's a movie that thinks it's better than it actually is and despite being more than decent it is quite disappointing compared to the anticipation it had. I still like it though, I think it delivered just about what you'd expect, quite similar aura to "Gone girl" which Ben Affleck featured in too, just not as good. It's not that complex of a story, the movie goes in the exact same direction you expect it to, which let some people down but as exciting as dramatic twists make a movie, I don't think a film should be considered poor just because of the lack of them. It reveals it's hands early,so there's no mystery but as predictable as the story gets, I was still quite intrigued to understand how the main characters, Melinda and Vic, thought. That was the only real let down for me, I wish it had more character depth, maybe show us how exactly their relationship began and whether or not it was that perverse from the start.

It could have also done well with a slightly shorter runtime, it's a slow thriller and I think it sits right on the edge of becoming too long a movie. There also some plot holes and implausible moments, well just one that's bothering me really; when Don showed up in the forest, how he and Melinda could have guessed what happened there, or if it was all just coincidental which is a little hard to believe.

The acting did most of the heavy lifting, it's great by the entire cast, which surprised me because at first glance I thought Ben Affleck and maybe de Arma's would be the only standouts. Also expected more chemistry when I first heard of the movie since they were seeing each other at the time, but the relationship they share in the movie is meant to be somewhat emotionless so you can't fault it for that. The whole movie can be pared down to Ben affleck going "sure, you could sleep with my wife if you want to, but then I'd have to kill you."

The movie does have it's shortcomings, it's definitely not as good as it should be but all in all I think it's still alright. I just think when people anticipate a movie to be a 9/10 for instance, and it turns out to actually be a 6 or 7 they get so disappointed and give it lower ratings than it actually deserves because it's not what they expected.

Most ingredients for a good movie are there, there is suspense, romance, betrayal, sex and excellent acting.

But the movie itself is not greater than the sum of its parts. There is the opportunity to play with the characters and build a story around them that could have been a lot better. You will watch this movie from start to finish because the suspense is there but you are left with a great sense of « that's it? ».

6.4/10 Deep water was ok, but it's sort of like seeing a bad car wreck, it's awful but you still can't really stop looking at the aftermath. We weren't really bored watching this flim ethier so it's worth a viewing if you have nothing else your wanting to watch.

It is a dark story of strange love between very strange people , with a very strange dynamic ) And , probably , it could have been better . Nevertheless ,I t kept me interested , engaged and entertained .Solid 7 stars .
