Deep Water is redolent of 1960s Australian police procedurals such as Homicide or Cop Shop. The script is a rollcall of cliches: the upstart newbie, her job-weary senior detective, the obstructive old-school station chief, the migrant family all speaking in halting Pidgin English. None of the cast or the scriptwriters appears to have done any field research with real-life police. Poor direction, bad acting, and pedestrian cinematography. The treatment by police of homosexuals' deaths at Bondi's famous cliffs was a scandal for decades and deserves a better treatment than this to educate the present day.
