Let’s talk about that credits sequence!ĭeep Water contains more than an average number of scenes of people singing along to things. It’s interesting to note that Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn lists Deep Water among her favorite books, so it seems fitting that this film version shares DNA with her work. In that instance his wife ( played by Rosamund Pike) is the bigger psycho and by the end of the film the two are stuck with each other. The film has an ending which is more reminiscent of Gone Girl, which also stars Affleck as a man suspected of murdering his wife. In the end, knowing he’s going to be taken to the police by Don, Vic goes home and strangles Melinda, before Don and a police officer arrive at the house. In the book, Melinda orchestrates a way for Don to discover evidence of Tony’s murder while Vic is checking Tony’s body (a bit like in the film), though Don doesn’t crash his car, he survives. The original story does not end well for either half of the toxic couple. But Melinda decides to burn the evidence she’s found and tells Vic she has seen Tony, which they both know is not true. She’d easily be able to implicate her husband who has clearly gone full-blown psychopath. Meanwhile, Melinda has found Tony’s wallet in Vic’s snail farm (!). Lucky for Vic that a shaken up Don is driving like a crazy person trying to get away from Vic (who is on a bike…) and crashes off the edge of a ravine swerving to avoid Vic. There’s no way Tony’s death could be mistaken for an accident and Vic is even caught by Don when he’s trying to poke Tony’s body down into the water with a stick. Vic definitely murders Melinda’s old friend Tony (Finn Wittrock) by hitting him over the head with a rock, then weighing down his body and disposing of it in the creek. Melinda certainly thinks he did it, as does her friend Don (Tracy Letts). Charlie is drowned in the swimming pool, and while Vic says he didn’t do it, flashbacks (which could also be Vic’s imagination) show him drowning Charlie. He probably killed Charlie De Lisle ( Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi), the young pianist that Melinda is seeing and openly flaunting to Vic. Though we don’t actually find out who killed Martin in the film, certainly in the book Vic isn’t Martin’s murderer, though the film diverges on other plot points. It’s Vic himself who starts the rumor that he’s the killer and seems to rather enjoy the notoriety it brings him. Later though, Martin’s body is found and he’s actually been shot.
We understand Martin is one of his wife’s former lovers, and Vic tells Joel, his wife’s latest squeeze, that he killed Martin with a hammer.
