Struggling to keep their small seaplane business afloat, Charlie, a retired marine biologist and shark-bite survivor, his girlfriend Kaz, and friend Benny, are delighted when they are commissioned by high-flying holidaymakers, Joji and his wife, Michelle. However, as soon as the seaplane lands on a sandy beach of remote Hell's Reef, disaster strikes, and the team find themselves trapped in a flimsy inflatable lifeboat with limited supplies. Now, the unfortunate crew drifts aimlessly in the dark, deep waters of the vast ocean, and they are not alone: a massive, stealthy great white shark has already picked up their scent, and it will stop at nothing to feed. Can they escape from the powerful jaws of the ultimate oceanic apex predator? —Nick Riganas

A shark movie that feels too dull despite good acting

"Great White" is a movie that fails to generate enough thrills, or interest to make it a good film. Filled with too much downtime and not enough shark attacks.

What I did like about the movie is that the acting is surprising pretty good. Mainly from the two leads. I cared enough about them which helped me want to root for them. The film is also at times well shot. It also succeeds at capturing some of the fear about being stranded. It did at times work very well.

However despite some good acting, and attempts to make the movie thrilling, "Great White" suffers from far too many boring scenes. The movie doesn't have nearly enough shark action to make this a fun shark movie. The movie fails to generate any kind of thrills or action. Also the CGI is unfortunately pretty bad. Which explains why there isn't enough time dedicated to the sharks. The deaths too are far too bland and cliched, making the movie more of a film about people who are arguing rather then a thrilling shark movie.

Overall despite some good acting, and attempts to make this movie be serious, "Great White" is far too dull, and at times boring to make anyone want to be thrilled or scared to go in the water.
