Movies that feel like Deep Water (2006)
DEEP WATER is the stunning true story of the fateful voyage of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur yachtsman who enters the most daring nautical challenge ever – the very first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race.
If you loved Deep Water, the closest films we have are The Warlords (2007), The Uprising (2026) and Bodyguards and Assassins (2009). All three share Deep Water's contemplative and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Ambassador (2011).
