I was very much looking forward to director Adrian Lyne’s adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel ‘“Deep Water,” starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. The novel follws “a young married couple as their mind game with each other take a dark turn when bodies begin piling up. The couple avoids divorce by allowing each other to take on new lovers.” Sounds about right. No doubt, the filmmaker most associated with the erotic thriller genre was Lyne. Between 1987 and 2002 Lyne released “Fatal Attraction,” “9½ Weeks,” “Flashdance,” “Indecent Proposal,” “Lolita” and “Unfaithful” — all featuring erotic sex and dark thrills. However, ever since 2002’s “Unfaithful” Lyne has been M.I.A. What happened? I’m not sure, but 17 years after his last movie, Lyne is back for more. Contribute Hire me
