Critics Consensus

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

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

Rated: 1.5/4

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

San Jose Mercury News

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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...

Rue Morgue Magazine

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.

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...

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The film appears to have been shot off the North West coast of Western Australia. Somewhere near Broome (?). This is also, for me, the disappointing thing about the film. There just aren't any Great Whites that far North. Annoys me as the area is home to some very large Tiger sharks. Don't know why the producers insist on wrong species. Especially as Tiger sharks are well known to attack humans and small boats. Otherwise, a passable creature feature.
