Deep Water Movie Review

I went to see the movie Deep Water the day after it was released, May 2nd of 2026.

Starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley and directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, A Nightmare On Elm Street 4, Deep Blue Sea, Prison, Driven, The Strangers 1 and 2), the movie is about a plane crashing in the Pacific Ocean, and how the survivors try to stay alive on what is left of the plane, amongst the open ocean and sharks.

Deep Water is a classic disaster movie, in the vein of the Airport franchise, The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, Starflight One, you name it.  It has everything that makes a disaster movie.  Some characters you care about, some you don’t.  But it is a thrill ride and I recommend seeing it.

Thank you to Gene Simmons (KISS), one of the producers of the movie, for putting the word out about it.

Again, Deep Water is a very good disaster movie.  Check it out.
