Summary
Reviewers say 'Deep Water' offers a dark psychological thriller with themes of jealousy and revenge. Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas' performances receive mixed reviews, with some praising their chemistry and others finding them unengaging. The pacing and plot structure are criticized as slow and meandering, while the climax is seen as rushed. Despite these issues, the atmosphere and suspense are appreciated, though the supporting cast and subplots are deemed irrelevant.
Featured reviews
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.

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.

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.

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.
