To save Paris from a bloodbath, a grieving scientist is forced to face her tragic past when a giant shark appears in the Seine.
Under Paris is directed by Xavier Gens director of Frontier(s) (2007), Hitman (2007), The Divide (2011), The Crucifixion (2017), Cold Skin (2017) and Mayhem! (2023).
I honestly had no idea this was releasing until I saw a few people on Twitter talk about how campy it was, I decided to take a look and well if this review was judging the last 25 minutes or so only this movie would be a 7/10 due to how bizarre and quickly the chain of events are plus how they happen. Unfortunately for this movie the rest of it is attached.
The characters who the movie really wants you to connect with and the script share a very common problem…both are incredibly boring. I've said before how I hate using the word boring in my reviews, but there really is no other way to describe the movie's characters or its script. A lot of it is cliched clutter such as stupid characters who are only stupid just to move the plot along, the movie desperately tries to take itself seriously a lot of the time which I do believe is why the last 25 minutes end up being so unintentionally hilarious. But that isn't quite enough to give the rest of the movie a pass.
There's just not a whole lot going on here and really does not offer anything really new to the already crowded shark movie genre, there's some hints at tension but the movie never uses the tension in a way that is going to bring the viewer in more closely.
Under Paris is available on Netflix.
2/10 F
