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.

Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk It's certainly pleasurable, but this modern Fatal Attraction is too prudish to satisfy. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Scaachi Koul BuzzFeed News 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. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Rex Reed Observer OK, it’s not Body Heat. But it kept my motor running. Rated: 3/4 Mar 31, 2022 Full Review Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jai Arjun Singh Firstpost 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 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Yasmine Kandil 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 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Deep Water (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kevin Slane Boston.com “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 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Christopher B acting was good, a little too much sex i mean we get the point. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Ahmed A What a silly and shallow movie Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Maverick S A toxic yet mutually cathartic relationship cultivated by two biblical sinners. I like the movie ending version in lieu of that of the novel. The dynamic goes on with devotions and sacrifices, and human sacrifices. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Hailee B I won't lie this movie was hot and good a toxic relationship ask...But like its hots lol i recommend watching it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Larry M Pathetic, had some many times to be a thriller but it never did. Could have been written by a high schooler. Afglevk can’t find a decent script. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Patrick F I like Ben Afflec and Ana De Armas. I was disappointed in this movie. It at times felt like a cringy soft core porn murder mystery that you used to see on Cinemax at like 3am. If the point was that a cheating wife who makes her husband jealous enough to murder her lovers should stay with her murderer husband because he's a good dad, well that's sort of messed up. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
