Critics Consensus

It's far from the most toothless shark thriller, but Great White lacks the killer storytelling instinct necessary to stay afloat.

1.5/4

A limp survival flick that drags considerably more than it scares.

The film's human characters make for drab company, leaving one with little to do but admire the scenery, waiting for dinnertime.

2.5/4

What distinguishes "Great White" from numerous "Jaws" wannabes is that we do feel an emotional investment about who lives and who becomes chum. It's a promising debut from Wilson.

Great White may not be a groundbreaking or unique film, but it’s made with respect, and that deserves to be reciprocated.

With all the long stretches of just, like, floating around, you’d think Great White would take more time to flesh out its characters, but it doesn’t really...

C+

An over reliance on CGI effects and clunky attempts to imply a lurking threat fall flat, making it hard to ever really buy into the terror supposedly lurking beneath the waves.

This was the biggest piece of crap I have ever watched . If I was an aspiring actor and I was handed this script , I would have thanked them for the free toilet paper and got the funk out of the studio . Terrible acting, terrible story , actually , there is no story , just a bunch of morons trying to outdo each other by being higher morons . If I foule give it a minus star I would , do yourself a favour , your time is better spent slamming your dick in a door than punishing your brain with this complete pile of crap they called a movie , it’s an insult to great whites

Não chega a ser ruim, mas tem pouca tensão, sendo extramente pontuais tais situações, foi conveniênte o inicio, entretanto, me convenceu os sobreviventes.

A terribly average little nature attacks movie. It passes the time if you're hungry for one of these kinds of movies, but it doesn't really feature anything noteworthy. I might criticize or praise it a little more, but I don't really remember it already...
