Sick movie
It is a very sick movie from a very bad writer and director. I wanted to throw up more than once. I hope that kind of films with these sick and miserable ideas will not be produced. It's a shame form an actor like bin aflik to act like this type of movies. I wander why all the time Hollywood want to destroy men image in there movies. I cannot find just one reason to know what the writer was thinking when he began such cheap writing. I can say that emphasizing and ensuring the presence of mentally ill characters in films and continuing to show them on screen will reflect negatively on society.. - filip-k - 16 November 2023
Bad writing, thin non-authentic characters... Dissapointment
Its a movie about a superslut, portrayed by Ana de Armas and an inauthentic psycho portrayed by Ben Afleck.
Everything from characters to conversations seems completely unrealistic and not true-to-life. Very bad, because 15-20 minutes into the movie I was kinda reeled in and it showed promise, music was appropriate, filming is good, shots good, everything is basically really good and then you realize its not leading anywhere. Even at the end, it doesnt feel like a cheap movie, you can see a lot of money and effort went into it. But the script was a total miss, just lacks quality and I mean really lacks it. - dobly58 - 8 January 2023
Adrian Lyne should be busier making more movies. Loved this!
Patience, patience people! So many haters wanting quick fixes out of the gate. Life just isn't like that, something Adrian Lyne knows only too well. I was eager to see what Lyne had up his sleeve after a long hiatus from directing and the initial reviews were bad, I mean really bad. But, in my lowly opinion, he's alway been a hit-maker with his own brand of photogenic relationship drama focusing on the darker aspects; jealously, lust, dominance, submission - sometimes murder. So, I sat down expecting a dud and what I got was something else. I got a movie that we don't see these days, people being people. No CGI, not explosions, no political preaching, just a delicious slow burner about flawed folks who, as far as we're concerned are not conventional but entirely possible. Hell, we have a million genders these days, why should infatuation be a crime? What makes this an effective little thriller? We have no choice but to feel rage, explosive rage because we the audience become infatuated with his wife with her impossible good looks, her brazen charm, and timely warmth when all seems lost, her sexual energy, all of which had ME clenching my fist when she'd arrive with a new man. The awkwards moments where Affleck suffers the indignity of hosting his wife's boyfriends, watching her flirt and kiss them, and knowing he's dying inside made this an achingly uncomfortable watch at times which of course is the point. Meanwhile, after the mysterious death of a party guest (you guessed it, one of the wife's boyfriend's), we begin to wonder if Affleck is intent on murder afterall - and so does a local novelist. If you've ever had a toxic relationship or been so in love with a devil, you'll get this. If you're looking for Fatal Attraction 2, forget it. Or, if you can accept the unconventional, definetly give this a go. You're in the hands of a master film-maker who still has it!! - sanjaperic-astrologe-466-503583 - 16 October 2022
some things never change
And Adrian Lyne after 20 years from his last film, appeared with this title, totally unchanged. Love triangles and 'deep waters' as a metaphor for complicated relationships, for the eternal question of love, hate, power, admiration, worshiping, loosing and everything else that left us unrecognizable of ourself.
How is easy to get lost when it comes about love and passion. Like Bergman wrote long ago "Modern man is just your imagination", Lyne approves that maybe we changed a little, but our deep waters still run the same.
Beautiful frames, stairways, casual city scape, and kitchen of course, big and white, are here again... Also, sensuality of woman and men under pressure - like in all of his movies. - karam-17600 - 18 September 2022
Poor,
Very poor movie to be honest, I am surprised the actors would agree to these roles and this movie. Unless money and I mean big money was the factor. They are both big mega actors now in Ana and Ben so I doubt this would damage them but what were they thinking playing that role mainly to Ana. She's a cool girl so I like her in classy roles and fun but this felt off. She just doesn't seem like that person but maybe that's just my opinion.
I mean the movie was weird with no real gone girl vibes just felt off and the end was weird. No good questions were asked, like why were they together, how they met ? Felt weird and silly, I thought this was a must watch even with the bad reviews.
But I am telling you now, it's definitely not a must watch not even if you have nothing better to watch. It's a total waste of time just to be frank, I should have watched Django unchained tonight instead of this but my curiousness made me watch this. Thank you it's out the way and again do not bother watching this.
