	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"This is a killer shark movie with a semi-decent CGI great white, a predictable survival storyline, and all the familiar trappings (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"[It] will likely be one of the more boring offerings of this year’s Shark Week (...) This shark film fails to milk the assets at its disposal for their worth (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG

United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"A paint-by-numbers shark survival slog (...) The film’s human characters make for drab company, leaving one with little to do but admire the scenery, waiting for dinnertime."	NEG
Canada	The Iceman JoBlo	"A fun, tension-filled shark adventure, 'Great White' is exactly what I hoped it would be, a big dumb, good time"	POS
United States	Tasha Robinson Polygon	"While the personal dynamics resonate and the lurking sharks mostly look convincing, 'Great White' gives way to too many beat-by-beat horror-movie clichés"	NEU
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"'Great White' doesn’t deliver on character, suspense, or even the sharks-devouring-people thrills that are supposed to fuel movies like this."	NEG
