In the Summer of 2024, Paris is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river. To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander.
"The killer shark movie subgenre gets a French addition with Under Paris. The plot follows a scientist (Bérénice Bejo, from The Artist) who must confront her tragic past and find a solution when the presence of a violent shark is discovered in the Seine River, shortly before a major triathlon. It's a film with a outlandish premise (like so many of its shark movie counterparts), though never ridiculous or comedic: it falls more into the territory of a conventional thriller than the comedy of Sharknado. Predictable, but if you enjoy these kinds of movies, you'll find it entertaining."
