Critics Consensus

Delivering good old-fashioned thrills thanks to director Renny Harlin's reliable genre instincts, Deep Water is an unapologetic B-movie that swims rather than sinks.

There is good junk and bad junk, and Deep Water — while assuredly junk — is the fun kind.

If done right, a disaster movie can scratch a cinematic itch like nothing else, serving up sentimentality, suspense and schadenfreude in tidy parcels of action.

B-

The human drama element between the passengers provides just enough context to carry this light and predictable but garish and bloody popcorn adventure.

Renny Harlin...has finally made the movie that people who have not seen Deep Blue Sea think that movie is. [Full review in Spanish]

It's awful that the digital effects used to animate these sharks 28 years [after Deep Blue Sea] look like effects from 1999, from that movie. It's really sad, it takes us out from everything we could have enjoyed in the film. [Full review in Spanish]

Film was good enough… until the sharks show up. Clearly the film makers have never seen a shark and don’t know anything about them. This could have been an excellent film about plane crash victims trying to survive in the ocean. Instead, it’s shlock that plays on Deep Blue Sea style sharks, but with no reason for their outrageous behavior. Save yourself some money and watch it on steaming. Or better yet, just watch Deep Blue Sea.

Disaster movie cliche. Offers nothing new. Should’ve been more fun

Entertaining enough. Acting was rough. Story line was all over the place. The the concept was fun.

A shark movie is always a great way to kick off the season.

I will just say that the first half of this movie wasn’t too bad, but after the plane crash, it was a little bit silly and far-fetched. Overall, not the best movie we’ve seen in a while.
