Not horrible... the film does a good job building tension. But then creepy Judd Nelson shows up and the final act kinda falls apart into nonsense.

Shallow tale of betrayal at sea in yet another Marine puff piece.

So this is what a Z movie looks like ? I've always thought Billy Zane was an awful "ham", then along comes Judd Nelson. I must have watched a dozen of these turkeys during the pandemic and they don't satisfy any realm of the imagination. Another waste of time, energy and money.

Mediocre acting and directing as well as a really weak screenplay that's not even entertaining.

Dead Water is the next best thing to Dead Calm. Beautiful movie with interesting characters and a mystery that makes the viewer slowly but steadily develop an uneasy suspicion.

Joe Leydon

Variety

A tepid VOD-ready melodrama that strikes faint echoes of Roman Polanski's "Knife in the Water" and Phillip Noyce's "Dead Calm" while ponderously padding 60 or so minutes of plot to feature length.

Observer

Plot twists multiply, turning Dead Water into nothing more than one huge red herring in an attempt to distract viewers from the sorry fact that nothing of substance is really happening.

Rated: 2/4

None of the performers are able to bring life to their schematic characters, although Nelson appears to be having fun as a modern-day pirate.

A sea-set thriller that bobs along nicely in spite of some rocky narrative decisions.

... the filler in between the tension gave time for all of that apprehensiveness to drain away. What's left felt more like an anchor than a buoy.
