New York Daily News
What unfolds is a smart, tense nail-biter that’s bound to leave some clinging to the shoreline this summer. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
This flick is a summer diversion, pure and simple, so don’t expect a deep message. - 75
TheWrap
It’s lean and mean, focused and direct, and the jolts are both effective and well earned - 58
The A.V. Club
47 Meters Down never remotely approaches greatness, but for an hour or so, its unfussy, workmanlike portrait of ordinary people in crisis (plus killer sharks) gets the job done. - 50
Movie Nation
Silly as it sounds, 47 Meters Down is downright intense. And it manages the odd surprise twist, too. - 50
Boston Globe
Not that the movie’s various shortcomings are all on Moore. British genre director and co-writer Johannes Roberts (“Storage 24”) gives her nothing but trite drama to work with in setting up the story, and an overload of distracting, reductive prattle once she hits the water. - 50
The New York Times
In the lulls between bouts of yammering, however, the director, Johannes Roberts, concentrates on building a solid atmosphere of desperation. - 50
IndieWire
47 Meters Down sinks rather than swims, even if there are a few buoyant moments along the way.
