Major spoilers for “Deep Water” follow; if you haven’t watched yet turn back now!In broad strokes, “Deep Water,” based on a novel of the same name by “The Talented Mr. Ripley” author Patricia Highsmith, centers on the marriage of Vic Van Allen (Affleck) and his much younger wife Melinda (de Armas). He made an ungodly amount of money designing microchips that allow for drone technology to work.
(This is our first indication that he is, at the very least, somewhat morally compromised. When he talks about his job to a local writer named Don, played by the great Tracy Letts, he gets a quizzical look.) His wife Melinda (and mother to their young child Trixie) just hangs out all day, getting into flirtatious and occasionally sexual relationships with men in town.An early scene shows her bringing a young man to a party that is being thrown by one of their friends. She is pretty blatant about the attention she is lavishing on him.
Vic corners the young man and refers to another “friend” of his wife’s who went missing. “I killed him,” Vic tells the new friend. Since this is a squarish Southern town (Little Wesley, Louisiana), word gets around and people start to talk about Vic and his wife’s relationship and what he is willing to do to protect it.
(The movie never definitively states whether Vic killed the guy he makes reference to; later they do find his body but he was murdered in a way that was dissimilar to what Vic described.)In one of the more painfully awkward moments in the movie, Melinda convinces Vic to cook for this young man. He comes over to the house, there is some very terse conversation and some inappropriate behavior by Melinda (of course).Ultimately this friend ends up leaving town. Conflict avoided.
