Three Quick Reviews: movie Deep Water and TV series: From and Snowpiercer
Deep Water is based as a psychological, erotic thriller. Well, Hmm. It stars Ben Affleck as an older husband with a beautiful, younger wife who is, shall we say, lustful. She has affairs and Affleck kills the guys. That’s a brief summation and about all you need to know. It’s an extraordinarily slow movie with one of the worst endings. Ever watch victims so stupid they deserve to die? They’re all in this movie. Really. So there are rumors this guy kills his wife’s lovers, but you boink his wife anyway. And then when he invites you on a drive to the ‘gorge’ you go, ‘Sure, sounds like a fun outing!’
Or you suspect him and find him red-handed and hop in your car to escape and he only has a mountain bike and you’re like, okay, let’s be cool and get out of here? No, you drive as maniacally as Jack Nicholson wanting to get your ankles smashed and, well, enough said.
The kid was good. Actually, both kids were good and kind of an interesting observation.
But overall? Rewatch Last Seduction if you want a sexy thriller.
The TV series From suffers from a terrible title. I’m an expert on terrible titles. My sixth Green Beret book was titled Z. Yes, just the letter. So that was worse, okay? Mea culpa.
