Russ G A sequel to Newman's "Harper" - a film not good enough to deserve a sequel. What's a California private eye doing in Louisiana anyway? I just watched the original trailer and that was enough. Maybe Old Blue Eyes' charm could carry at the box office this half a century ago, but after seeing "Harper" I'm not hungry for more. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Solid sequel to Harper, but a bit darker in tone. Paul Newman brings his easy going charm and charisma to his private detective role, As he's hired for a simple case in Louisiana, And soon uncovers a lot more, As schemes for oil rich land, family secrets, affairs, and murders pile up, Fine supporting cast, chiefly Melanie Griffith, There's some memorable scenes, including one in a hydro therapy room, which gives the movie its' title, Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Eric C An enjoyable, and entertaining movie. While there is a lot going on here, so much that the attempt to develop yet another character can be tiring, the central plot provides a satisfying journey. Newman stars as a PI who has Jason Bourne's magical power to navigate through all jams unscathed (Newman's character provides some moral standards, as well, but not painfully). Yes, the movie provides a salve to men's struggling egos, but it also provides simple entertainment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review steve d Fun sequel that doesn't do anything new. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This claims, Thanks also for that even though your said site's Tomatometer only has a mediocre 0.5 or 1/2 for its 'seventyfive ( '75 ) ( 'lxxv ) flick ' ' DROWNING Pool, ' ' we want to say that DESPITE S. Rosenberg's FLATLY performed directing, we thought the way Mr. P. Newman's hero ( among others ) makes another set of fine performances happen was one ( 1 ) ( i ) of MANY ways that this more than makes up for that.... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review camille l Ecrit par Walter Hill et réalisé par Scott Rosenberg (deux noms qu'on associe avec une certaine qualité, habituellement), The Drowning Pool n'a pas vraiment d'intrigue centrée mais possède beaucoup de style et une atmosphère assez pesante dans un bayou typique de Louisiane. Si Paul Newman domine encore les débats, force est de constater qu'ils sont particulièrement peu intéressant cette fois-ci et que cette lutte de pouvoir entre un magnat du pétrole et l'ex du personnage principal n'a rien de passionnant. Hormis une bonne scène dans un appartement inondé, The Drowning Pool n'apporte rien de nouveau au genre, malgré un score remarquable.
