The first new movie in 20 years from director Adrian Lyne ('Fatal Attraction,' 'Indecent Proposal') is an updated adaptation of a 1957 novel by Patricia Highsmith.
Ben Affleck caresses a snail beautifully in “Deep Water.” As Vic Van Allen, the rich, brooding, slug-collecting antihero of this languid erotic thriller, he studies the little creatures as they slither around in his grasp and invites bewildered onlookers to share his fascination. “A snail will crawl up a 12-foot wall to find its mate,” he says admiringly, as if he were recognizing a kindred romantic.
But even if they inhabit a more progressive-minded moment, Vic and his wife, Melinda , can’t help but raise eyebrows in their inner circle. An inveterate flirt, Melinda pushes the terms of their agreement to the limits: She spends her days chasing handsome young men around their leafy New Orleans suburb, sometimes inviting them over to the house for dinner.
There’s more to the story: a startling rumor, a couple of parties, a nosy neighbor , a few unfortunate “accidents” and a swimming pool that glows as ominously as the one inJacques Deray’s 1969 classic of sex, deceit and murder. But while Lyne is a self-professed Francophile, the movies he seems to be referencing most blatantly here are his own. As shot by Eigil Bryld, this “Deep Water” is almost reassuringly shallow, a catalog of Architectural Digest furnishings and tasteful female nudity .
