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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This only got 2 stars since I watched the whole thing. It was sooooo bad. The ending is beyond ridiculous. Affleck is wooden AF. De Amas was completely useless in this role. And the worst sin of all from Lyne - it was NOT erotic. WTF happened to him. He was the kind of 80s erotic crazy AF films.

De Armas is a frightfully bad actor, as her current bookings roll off she’ll be on her way to the dustbin of history and it can’t come soon enough. Affleck is rigid and expressionless, while, to be fair, receiving no help from a weak supporting cast. Story predictable and lame. Nearly worth quitting the genre after watching this catastrophe.

Such a terrible film. Ben Afflect is poor, storyline is pathetic and with Ana blanking Martin Brundle on the grid, I can't warm to her at all now.

Difficult watching Ben Affleck. He is such a stiff actor. I do not understand his fame. I gave the movie a chance because of Ana but the story was boring and the characters were unlikeable.
