A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Cristal
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Deep Water is a crime thriller and one can undoubtedly feel Ole Bornedal's touch on the movie. It's similar to his previous work, Nightwatch, and the slow build-up of the story is well suited the long running time. Ole Bornedal has - besides the big pompous and stunning film shots - a flair for creating tension which is maintained throughout the movie to keep the viewers on their toes.The movie is interesting of its kind; instead of following the crime investigators, the viewers follow the person who's being hunted. In addition, the movie questions what we today regard as good ethics and morals and especially how far we would go if the foundation of our lives were threatened.The music is composed by the American composer, Marco Beltrami, and Ole Bornedal has managed to bring together a talented cast of Danish actors. A thriller that's worth watching!

If one would draw a map of the scandinavian cinema,they`d have there the claustrophobic visions of Ingmar Bergman,the social care of Aki Kaurismaki,the melodrama of Lars von Trier and the horror of Ole Bornedal.Now,this particular work(I don`t now how many people saw Nightwach)builds up the thrill little by little.The mayor of a danish community is taken to hospital because of a heart attack and all the problems must be handled by the vice(Nils),but then there`s also the mayor`s son,a gambler who just seem to keep losing control on everything.Therefore a following tragedy becomes quite inevitable!
