Moviegoers are saying
Renny Harlin's 'Deep Water' divides audiences between those embracing its B-movie shark chaos and critics wanting more bite from the 'Deep Blue Sea' director. While the spectacular plane crash sequence and Aaron Eckhart's committed performance earn praise, many feel the film never quite matches the legendary status of Harlin's previous shark masterpiece.

Apparently to make a 90s movie you just need Renny Harlin and 47 producers.
ChrisStuckmannMay 5, 2026I salute all the soldiers of cinema who were out tonight seeing a new Renny Harlin joint starring Aaron Eckhart instead of one of the several very, very popular movies playing at the same multiplex.

This movie deserves more appreciation. More people need to go out and see it. Only 7 people out of all the people I follow on here have seen it. And for all the people hating on it I just have one thing to say. Why can you not just enjoy a fun movie rather than just…

Bradlee FleagleApr 30, 2026✅ 3.3 / 5 ✅ — Deep Water gets wet, but it never quite takes the plunge. Renny Harlin gave us Deep Blue Sea back in 1999, one of the greatest shark movies ever made. The news that he was returning to the genre had me pretty hyped. Smart sharks. LL Cool J talking to a…

Surprisingly for a Harlin film, there was a lot to like in this. However, most of the shark effects were not great, and I thought doing the jumping meme…well, jumped the shark. Definitely watchable, mostly for the flight crew cast.
Dr Michael AwesomeMay 2, 2026Guys the sharks in Deep Water were makos NOT great whites! Gosh I’m an idiot… 🤦♂️ I really thought they were great whites they look so much alike. I’m sorry for the misinformation hehe 😅. That’s why they were hunting in packs. I knew this deep down but I was quick to…

Ryan Wolf is "meh" onDeep Water5.8/10 Super simple plot. Lots of long stretches of really nothing happening. The sharks were cool but the got super old after watching them eat people for 45 minutes. Won’t watch again but it’s fine as a background action movie if you’re not really going to pay attention.
Hardy Reviews likedDeep WaterDeep Water is a high-intensity, high-emotion thrill-filled film with lots of elements to keep you at the edge of your seat. This film will have you angry, smiling, and crying throughout the film.
- Brennan Michael Ouellette is "meh" onDeep Water
I mean it was good, but felt rushed at times. Graphics were kinda mid but sharks were realistic. I mean it was good, and I’d watch it for free again, but wouldn’t pay to see it again.
Dark Sun is "meh" onDeep WaterHad some decent moments, but was too long, had stretches of nothing of substance, and a handful of characters taking screen time that I didn’t care about out at all. Inoffensive.
Zoe likedDeep Water3.5/5⭐️ started at a 2.5 but got to a 3.5 tbh The crash was filmed really well and scary it felt like i was there tbh and locked in haha

Crazy movie with a series of events that the people in the movie cannot just catch a break from😂
Cinematic Joshua is "meh" onDeep WaterA schlocky Horror Disaster that yearns to swim in suspense but collides into Melodramatic waters.
KrisTothaFer likedDeep WaterIt actually wasn’t as stupid as some other shark movies… until the helicopter scene 🤦♂️
