Han R Jan 15, 2019 What a fantastic thriller this film turned out to be- Alfred Hitchcock would well be proud. The Deep End is unquestionably a thriller, but, in an odd way, it's also a love story. At the film's emotional center is the question of what a mother will sacrifice for her son - what lies she will tell and what blame she will accept to keep him safe. It is said that maternal love is the fiercest kind of all, and nowhere is this more apparent than in The Deep End. And, because Tilda Swinton plays the mother and McGehee and Siegel are in complete control, the result is one of the year's best thrillers. The Deep End is an exceptionally involving and intelligent thriller, and, unlike many of its commercially-driven cohorts in the genre, it does not rely overmuch on narrative twists and turns. The complexity lies more in the characters than in the plot. Using one of Hitchcock's favorite devices - the "wrong man" theme - co-writers/producers/directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel have crafted a motion picture which is good on every level. See more

Ron S Apr 6, 2018 Tilda Swinton stars as a mother who, believing her teenage son has killed his homosexual lover, hides the body. After it is discovered, Goran Visnjic comes along with evidence about the connection between her son and the corpse demanding $50,000 to stay quiet. She cannot come up with the money, and manages to win over Visnjic with a fairly impassioned plea. He cannot, however, dissuade his partner from demanding his cut of the money. This extremely effective noir thriller is based on a 1949 novel previously adapted by Max Ophüls as "The Reckless Moment". It's well executed, but gains it's real power from Swinton's performance.

Han L Nov 28, 2017 Not at all compelling for what was intended to be a thriller. It will bore you to sleep. (First and only viewing - 11/28/2017)

Hermione S Apr 21, 2017 Rediculous storyline. Blackmailer turned friendly ally! Weekend afternoon movie at best!
