Reactions: Clearly Gerard Butler has an audience and the grosses of The Smoke in the Red Country and The Black Cat were no fluke as he is now 3-for-3 at the box office in just two seasons working with the studio.



"At times Blood in the Water stretches the credibility of its premise a bit too far, but at the end of the day it is an entertaining film that will not bore any audiences." - Justin Rodriguez, Detroit Free Press



"The story is ridiculous, and not always in fun ways. It starts off strong, but phones in the second half of the story, seemingly for the sake of convenience or it may have just run out of steam." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun




"The cast aren't given much to work with this simple shark attack tale. With a director like Roland Emmerich at the helm, I was expecting some big and spectacular, but this film is more reigned in, which doesn't really help this particular tale." - Clark Haverford, Nerdist




Rated R for some language and graphic depictions of a shark attack
