"Deep Water gives us nothing else, because to do so would be to admit that there is meaning to our world. The characterizations are transparent and the themes so plainly stated that they border on self-parody."
"The crash is agonizingly long and horrific, as if it's been assembled from every nightmare you've had about planes; the shark attacks manage to be bloody, surprising, at times even visceral."
Deep Water features a catastrophic plane crash followed by shark attacks, delivering on its promise of entertainment with graphic and surprising scenes. The film's characterizations are simplistic, bordering on self-parody, with transparent themes. Notable characters include a somber first officer and an annoying passenger whose actions contribute to the crash. The film embraces its absurdity, focusing on visceral thrills rather than meaningful storytelling, ultimately reflecting a world devoid of deeper significance.
