Spoilers - 'The Deep End'



Don't read if you don't want to know the ending!

Josh Lucas plays gay. Yay! But he is only in the movie for a short bit. We do get the honor of seeing a snippet of him nekkid, hooking up with the son of the main character [that scene must have been uncomfortable to shoot].

Interesting movie. The son, Beau [Jonathan Tucker] is involved with Darby Reese [Josh's character], but after they have a fight one night, Darby accidentally dies. The mom [played by Tilda Swinton] finds the body the next day, and comes to the assumption her son did it. So she tries to hide the body, as her son had already just been in a drunk driving accident a few days earlier, with Darby passed out in the seat.

The body gets found by the cops and the dude from 'ER' [Goran Visnjic] shows up and has a video for the mom. He has come to blackmail the mom as Darby owed he, and his partner, money. The video is of Darby and the son having sex. I don't really get why this would be something to be blackmailed by. Something about it being a small town and their reputation ruined.

Movie goes on concerning if she can come up with the money to pay the blackmailer. But eventually, Goran's character and the mom actually form a kind of bond. Eventually his partner comes to confront the mom directly, but Goran's character helps to stop him, and keep all of the deaths [Darby, and the thug partner], under wraps and gets the money back to the mom. The twist at the end is that Goran's dude, dies. But the good thing is the mom and son pretty much get away with two deaths.

I have a new respect for Josh in that he played gay. He rocks.
