In some regards, it goes all out and is in your face. However, where there was a potential for a Gone Girl-like depth of story, it never quite manages to reach this.ĭeep Water somehow ends up being both too much in some ways and not quite enough in the grand scheme of things. Overall, the actors are really good at doing exactly what’s needed for their respective characters. While this sort of movie is perfect for Ben Affleck, who shines when portraying rather unlikable and dubious characters, this movie had the definite potential for more.
They include Lil Rel Howery ( Get Out), Dash Mihok ( The Day After Tomorrow), Kristen Connolly ( The Cabin in the Woods), Finn Wittrock ( AHS, Ratched), and Jacob Elordi ( Euphoria, The Mortuary Collection). Maybe that’s not the point, but surely being miserable isn’t the point either.Īlong with Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, who both deliver impressive character portrayals in their own right, we have a stellar cast of supporting characters. But (unlike the above-mentioned Gone Girl) it’s hard to see how they could ever work in a happy way. Yeah, it’s a toxic relationship – to put it mildly. When he does, she shames him for not giving her space. Clearly, they have an understanding about this as well, but she clearly tries to push him into reacting. She is portrayed by Ana de Armas who plays a woman that apologizes to no one for doing what she wants. In his relationship with his wife Melinda, however, he has chosen one hell of a challenge. In his relationship with his daughter, Trixie, who is a smart little girl, he does seem to be good. In Deep Water, he plays a man who has retired at a young age and just cruises through life. Vic is the kind of man who might appear charming and understanding, but who also has his own demons and desires. I don’t know what it is about Ben Affleck, but for me, he is at his very best when he plays the kind of character he does in Deep Water and Gone Girl.
Ben Affleck should play these characters more
