Deep Water, which is very much a neo-'70s disaster film. should have been called Airplane Crash into a Sea of Jaws. As it stands, the word in the film’s generic title that echoes that earlier Harlin movie is more than a little ironic, since deep is the exact word to describe what Renny Harlin’s movies are not. They are shallow. They are dramatically flat.
They do not have interesting characters even on a schlock B-movie level. As a director, he has a sixth sense for how to reduce actors to walking slabs of pulp.
