Deep Water was not so good.

Pros: I did enjoy the first quarter of this film & hearing the child sing in certain moments. 

Cons: I was getting bored as the film went along. The talents of Ben Affleck & Ana de Amas were wasted on this film. This is described as a thriller but I didn’t find it thrilling at all, in fact I found most of this film boring and repetitive.    

I would skip this one.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars
