Review of The Deep End (2001) by Georgios L — 27 Aug 2010
The "Deep End" is set in Lake Tahoe but the area gets no credit except for the back of a child's baseball jersey.
This is a movie about the extent a mother will go to save her teenage son from an adult. She gets in deep monetary trouble trying to satisfy ransom demands. The actress is superb. Blackmale is the game.
There is about 10 seconds of video tape which we can all live without, so wait for it to be shown and then fast forward a minute! We can live without seeing the gross depiction in the video she is blackmailed with. It is very shocking and graphic, so watch it at your peril.
This woman goes to extreme lengths to get protect her son and herself, because the pressure ratchets up from the weird adult to gangsters.
I had some credibility issues with this film in places, but I remember being impressed at the end. Well worth your time. I give it two index fingers up!
