Hello friends, welcome to my blog, today I want to talk to you about this film that when I read its synopsis I found it interesting to see, it is based on the book of the same name, written by Patricia Highsmith, 1957. This film is the mediocre adaptation in my opinion of this book that at the time was an excellent novel. A psychological thriller where the unhealthy relationship of a couple is portrayed. With an adaptation and script by Sam Levison, Zach Helm, in addition to the direction of Adrian Lyne, this film comes to us through Amazon Prime.

Con una adaptación y guion de Sam Levison, Zach Helm, además de la direccion de Adrian Lyne, nos llega esta cinta a través de Amazon Prime.

The film stars Ben Affleck (Vic Van Allen), is a billionaire genius who is married to Ana de Armas (Melinda), who is a woman who likes to have fun with other men in front of her husband. He has a daughter, Grace Jenkins, who at her young age shines in this film and is one of the few things that can be redeemed from the film that for 115 minutes is full of bad performances by its protagonists and that do not generate any emotion apart from boredom. .

La película protagonizada por Ben Affleck (Vic Van Allen), es un genio multimillonario quien está casado con Ana de Armas (Melinda), quien es una mujer que le gusta divertirse con otros hombres delante de su esposo. Tiene una hija, Grace Jenkins, quien a su corta edad brilla en esta cinta y es una de las pocas cosas rescatables de la película que durante 115 minutos está llena de malas actuaciones por parte de sus protagonistas y que no generan ninguna emoción aparte de aburrimiento.

Despite having a director of the stature of Adrian Lyne, who is a specialist in films of this type, let us remember his successes such as: "Fatal Attraction" or "An Indecent Proposal", films that managed to bring marital relationships to the fore. that are taken to extreme situations and that showed us in a not only entertaining but intelligent way how these situations can quickly turn into tragedies and disrupt relationships. This time it fell short not only with a weak script that does not keep the viewer attentive, but also does not delve into the couple's relationship, it only stayed on the surface of the erotic scenes and performances that do not generate emotion.

A pesar de contar con un director de la talla de Adrian Lyne, quien es un especialista en películas de este tipo, recordemos sus éxitos como: “Atracción Fatal” o “Una propuesta Indecente”, películas que lograron colocar en la palestra las relaciones matrimoniales que son llevadas a situaciones limites y que nos mostraron de manera no solo entretenida sino inteligente como estas situaciones rápidamente pueden devenir en tragedias y trastocar las relaciones. Esta vez se quedo corto no solo con un guion flojo que no mantiene al espectador atento, sino que no profundiza en la relación de la pareja, solo se quedo en lo superficial de las escenas eróticas y actuaciones que no generan emoción.

As I do not want to give any kind of spoiler so that it is you, if you decide to see the movie, give your impartial opinion of it, I will only talk about my impressions and particular opinions of it. I have never been a fan of Ben Affleck as an actor, but in this film his performance as a husband, who accepts a dysfunctional and sick relationship, leaves much to be desired, lacks total credibility and at times it seems to me that he overacts to try to give his character that veil of intelligent psychopath in the style of Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal Lecter. Not to mention her co-star Ana de Armas, in her performance as Melinda, throughout the film she only tries to be the femme fatale, in the style of Sharon Stone in nine and a half weeks, but she fails to fit into that style of woman.

Como no deseo dar ningún tipo de spoiler para que seas tú, si decides ver la película des tú opinión imparcial de la misma, solo hablaré de mis impresiones y opiniones particulares de la misma. Nunca he sido fan de Ben Affleck como actor, pero en esta cinta su actuación como un esposo, que acepta una relación disfuncional y enfermiza deja mucho que desear, carece de total credibilidad y por momentos me parece que sobreactúa para tratar de darle a su personaje ese velo de psicópata inteligente al estilo de Anthony Hopkins en Hannibal Lecter. Ni hablar de su coestrella Ana de Armas, en su actuación de Melinda, durante toda la cinta solo trata de ser la femme fatal, al estilo de Sharon Stone en nueve semana y medias, pero no logra encajar en ese estilo de mujer.

If I have to say something about this film, it is the little debutante Grace, who acts as the daughter of the couple, she steals the scenes in every shot that appears, her charisma and naturalness is impressive for a girl her age. I hope to see her in other tapes because the truth is that I am impressed. The tape has other redeemable moments, but few. For me this movie has 4 in my rating of 10.

Si algo debo decir de esta cinta es la pequeña debutante Grace, quien actúa como la hija del matrimonio, ella se roba las escenas en cada toma que aparece, su carisma y naturalidad es impresionante para una niña de su edad. Espero verla en otras cintas porque la verdad me impresiono. La cinta tiene otros momentos rescatables, pero pocos. Para mi esta película tiene 4 en mi calificación de 10.

    I was intrigued when I saw the release of this film due to its 2 main cast members, Ben and Ana are decent actors, and seeing them together on a film seemed like fun. However, I always like to confirm if a film is worth watching before investing the time in actually watching, and the opinions I read about the film all over the net left much to be desired, so in the end, I decided to skip it. Your review seems to agree that this film sucks and is best left ignored ahaha.

    Thank you for your review of Deep Water. This looked like an interesting thriller but I am sad to see that there is a lack of good acting and emotional tie to the characters. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day! Cine-TV-curation-comment-Curation-with-proper-tag
