What to Know

Critics Consensus

Treading water between gnarly kills, Thrash dishes some old-fashioned jolts but would've had more bite if its human characters were more compelling chum.

Ben Travis Empire Magazine Apr 20
2/5
More shallow than The Shallows, and lacking the depth of even Deep Blue Sea, this has chuckle-worthy moments but will be forgotten roughly 47 metres down in the lower-echelons of shark cinema. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Apr 14
Nothing in Thrash is going to wow Steven Spielberg, and its adherence to plot logic is elastic to say the least. But as bloody, dumb shark thrillers go, it stays afloat. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety Apr 14
This is a Netflix and Chomp movie, just 80 minutes long (if you don’t count the closing credits), and the compact run time does more than keep “Thrash” from wearing out its welcome. Go to Full Review

3/5
While we've seen almost all of this before there are enough well-timed scares to hold the interest even when things get silly. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers May 17
It’s short, so even with the major faults within, this is an entertaining and captivating disaster movie that happens to have sharks… and the third act truly goes insane. Go to Full Review
Walter Chaw Film Freak Central May 14
1/4
Lots of unforgivable things happen in Thrash, none of which involve the sharks, who are righteous in their appetite. Go to Full Review

Dane B. M @RT88449406 1d I'm giving this a 'good' rating. Why it got such a low rating from the critics is puzzling. The characters were well played, especially Djimon Hounsou. The music was foot-tapping. Production design good. And the special effects were quite realistic. The toxic bubba dad was a little irritating. The addition of the sharks was a tad dumb but, if you can get past the fact this was no Jaws or Citizen Kane, then you'll like it. See more Russell H @RT85733992 3d There was some humor but the characters were awful and unlikeable. Effects were terrible for the most part but there was some decent suspense See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 17 Tem mais furos no roteiro doque os tubarões a morder as pessoas. See more Kevin C @RT86970502 Jul 16 Some good acting, but when a guy who was taken under water by sharks suddenly pops out of the water 30 min later just to continue berating his foster kids you lost me… See more Cory W @RT42944590 Jul 16 Good movie for the most part could've had a better ending See more Alannah C @RT74948211 Jul 15 I made an account just to write a review on this terrible film. As a film buff who watches 100s a year this is literally the worst film I've seen. Terrible acting, awful story line. A women fights off a shark after just giving birth in the water, ridiculous. Ending on a cliff hanger because they're clearly hoping to make another film but good luck to that. I cant believe Netflixs bought this, what were they thinking. If anyone rates this film more than a 2.5 they're lying to you. See more Read all reviews
