What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

As soggy and bloated as a submerged corpse, Deep Water gets in a few good strokes but ultimately struggles to stay afloat before sinking like a stone. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

1/5
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. Go to Full Review

c l @clclcl2025 Dec 4 So disappointing movie ! i was so bored with the non stop sexual scenes of a quasi porn actress with barely any talent. Where is this De Armas lady coming from? Is it acting to just have some close ups on her crouch and breast or did she play for porn before? The story is long, nuts and only 5 minutes at the end seemed intriguing. A waste of time and for sure not Ben Affleck's best movie nor acting. Could not buy this couple at all. Cant give more ratings than that. See more Bill T @btreakle Oct 24 Deep Water This movie starring Ben Affleck and a great supporting cast it's a psychological thriller about a married couple with the wife who was very promiscuous and a husband who was extremely jealous. They got a little girl with this family perfect little family other than the adulterous lifestyle of the young wife alright would not recommend this movie to the younger crowd it is our rated for reason but it is a very good film and I would highly recommend it to the adult crowd. Film was released in 2022 and again I’m giving high praise I’m going to give it 8 out of 10 stars. See more Nikki C Oct 6 “Deep Water” had waves 🌊 Absolutely loved it! Ben Affleck delivers a quietly intense performance that keeps you guessing every step of the way. The chemistry, suspense, and slow-burn tension between him and Ana de Armas are magnetic. It’s dark, twisted, and unexpectedly captivating — the kind of psychological thriller that lingers with you long after it’s over. 👏🔥 See more Sam p @laniakea Sep 23 I mean its very watchable but its also highly ridiculous and unbelievable See more Giorgio G @GioBlob Aug 9 Not bad, not bad at all. It's a slow cooking multi relationship thriller, with a very sexy Ana de Armas and a stoic calculating Ben. One imagines a certain development, but you surely don't get what you expected. Not one of the tensest crime stories, but well written and well acted enough to make it worth its while. 6/10 points! See more Courtney K @c0urtn3y Jun 28 i didn't not like it, but it didn't really feel like there was a point to any of it. i kept waiting for the 'twist' at the end, but there is none. the ending left me a little confused, actually - her character is kind of all over the place. sometimes it seems like she's into it & other times like she's not. make up your mind.
