Critics Consensus

Viewers desperately seeking a new erotic thriller might find Deep Water worth a dip, but it's far from director Adrian Lyne's best work.

Audience Says

Between the unlikable characters, a story that's mostly pretty dull, and an annoying ending, it's hard to pick Deep Water's worst quality.

It's certainly pleasurable, but this modern Fatal Attraction is too prudish to satisfy.

Rated: 3/5

Honestly, reflecting on this movie for more than five minutes will make the whole thing melt in your hands, so it’s best not to consider it for too long.

OK, it’s not Body Heat. But it kept my motor running.

Around halfway through, as the ambiguity of the early scenes is lost, and we get a clearer sense of what exactly is happening, Deep Water also becomes more predictable, and refuses to gather steam as a thriller.

Rated: 2.5/5

Discussing Film

Even if these types of thrillers are your guilty pleasure, no matter how bad or predictable they may be, forcing yourself through two hours of lifeless and uninspired writing and performances of this sort is simply not worth it.

Rated: 1/5

“Deep Water” can be a bit shallow and silly at times. But the basic thrills and surprising laughs it provides are more than enough to make for an entertaining evening.

Rated: 2.5/4

Adrian Lyne has a been a favorite Director of mine for years. His work is phenomenal and is most underrated. I truly believe only intelligent people will understand his work. The folks commenting otherwise is complete nonsense.
