Aguas profundas

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.

Ofcourse i watched this for affleck and ana, movie is just full of ana, the story had so much potential but they just messed up and it felt too flat, idk why two talented actors chose this kinda script, overall its a below average watch.

A tale of infidelity and its lethal consequences, "Deep Water", based on the novel by the equally interesting and unsettling Patricia Highsmith is a Decadent take on modern relationships. Ben Affleck reprises his "Gone Girl" role as the put upon husband who capitalizes the B on the beta male. Amid the torrent of pain and tension he resolves his dilemma in the only way his emasculated and hopeless state can. Slow going in a glacial, Euro non-American pace the dead spaces peppered throughout the film are alleviated by the decent acting and aura of heavy, sombre slight suspense as the gist of the plot is revealed halfway through. Ben Affleck is a natural as his washed-up alcoholic look puts the bathos in his character although like many films of his in recent times he looks like he's going through the motions. Perhaps it's time to quit acting or at least take a break. Ana de Armas is as usual nice eye candy but is miscast. She looks too nice to play the loose irresponsible inhabitant of a kennel to be convincing. The real star is the little girl who portrays the unhappy couple's daughter who provides most of the spunk and energy this sedate film has. The realist style used is what keeps the viewer glued from the conversations to the sex scenes the authenticity giving the flick a rawness and immediacy that makes up for the flaws. While no classic or standout this is one contemporary journey that takes one deep into the nature and state of modern society and the dehumanization of people in an age of isolation and indifference.

For the briefest moment in Deep Water's increasingly ridiculous tonal massacre of a climax, there's a slight glimmer that something sort of unique may happen. However, the feeling is fleeting as the film's ending simply confirms what we've already assumed through the previous hour and a half; not only does Deep Water not have any idea what it wants to be, but director Adrian Lyne doesn't seem up to figuring it out himself. Instead, Lyne poses the question, "What if an erotic thriller was devoid of sexuality while also lacking any suspense whatsoever?" The jumbled and maddeningly awkward Deep Water is the answer and it's not something that's worth seeking out.

Plot points are introduced and dropped, characters are introduced and never show up again, Ana De Armas' accent changes in alternate scenes, and perhaps the biggest hit against an erotic thriller, it's decidedly unsexy.

The non-existent chemistry between Affleck and De Armas may or may not be intentional, and to give the pair credit, they try to make the material work.

A film of this incompetence almost rarely gets made at a studio level anymore, and in the era of Marvel films being committee-designed and afraid to make big gambles, films like 'Deep Water' should be cherished for the beautiful disasters that they are.

What an utterly, utterly frustrating movie this was to watch, I had really high hopes, sadly they were dashed about ten minutes in.

The first half of the movie, there are several words I could use, but let's just go with awful, it was dire, the second half of the movie was much better, but the damage was done.

Ana de Armas is good, and of course looks glorious, her character is hideous though, Vic isn't much better. I did like Affleck in this though, his rather emotionless performance is odd at first, but makes sense as the movie progresses.

The final sequences are incredibly over the top, you'll need to see it to believe it.

Ultimately, it proves one thing, autocorrect is a setting on your phone best avoided. 5/10.
