Newsweek
Deep Blue Sea gives good rush -- earning its stripes as one terrific junk movie. - 80
Dallas Observer
Not everything in the film happens according to the traditional, overly familiar blueprint. - 75
ReelViews
It proves capable of doing something that many more artistically ambitious films fail at: entertaining an audience for nearly two hours. - 70
Film Threat
If distinctly uneven CGI, minimal originality and overly convenient plot devices turn you off, this may not be your film. - 70
Washington Post
This movie's entire raison d'etre (that's French for "shark meat") is to toy creatively with the "rules." - 60
Variety
Powered by exceptional displays of physical filmmaking, Deep Blue Sea is pulled back to shore by the usual suspects -- weak plotting and weaker dialogue. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
One of those stupid movies that are good to relax with. - 25
Chicago Tribune
Even overlooking the fundamental inanity of the movie, one is left to contend with some offensive racial stereotyping.
