Everyone is currently talking about a hair-raising shark movie that features Sophia, portrayed by French-Argentine actress Bérénice Bejo.
In an unexpected twist, Sophia uncovers that a massive shark has infiltrated the Seine river just before the city’s highly anticipated triathlon begins.
Despite her attempts to alert local authorities and politicians about the imminent danger, Sophia’s warnings fall on deaf ears.
What follows is nothing short of a blood-soaked catastrophe during the competition.
Helmed by director Xavier Gens, the film titled Under Paris premiered on Netflix on Wednesday (June 5).
In a gripping trailer, Sophia is seen analyzing a map pinpointing the shark’s route, with her voiceover expressing disbelief: “We’ve got a signal. It’s not possible.”
The trailer then cuts to a French politician who disregards Sophia’s concerns, insisting that the triathlon will proceed.
“You never inquired about the orca or the beluga. If we don’t do anything, your PR operation could turn into a total bloodbath. It will be carnage,” Sophia warns.
Shocking audiences, Sophia then plunges into the river, where the shark soon makes a terrifying appearance.
The chaos escalates as swimmers desperately attempt to escape in another thrilling scene.
Since its release, the film has attracted a swarm of positive attention on social media, with many viewers giving Under Paris rave reviews.
Countless fans have heralded the movie as a ’10/10′, while others admit it kept them on the edge of their seat.
“Under Paris on Netflix was so good,” wrote one viewer on X.
Another shared, “Saving the rest for tomorrow but the first few minutes of this new Netflix killer shark movie Under Paris are f***ing remarkable, really luscious hi-def digital images with an almost sculptural use of light. Rewound it and watched it twice!”
A third viewer exclaimed, “Oh my!! Under Paris is good!! What a twist in the end!”
Critics have also showered the film with praise. John Serba from Decider noted, “We don’t go into a shark thriller with high expectations, so Under Paris being merely good enough is plenty to warrant a recommendation.”
Michael Nordine of Variety commented, “Look no further than Under Paris for an answer to the hypothetical that surely keeps Emmanuel Macron up at night, as Netflix’s new thriller swims rather than sinks as it adds life to a genre that’s been bloodless for far too long.”
