Go figure, just when I was getting over my fear of sharks, a new thriller about the predator has made its way to the top of the Netflix charts. It’s called Under Paris and, of course, I’m going to watch it.
The movie follows Sophia (Bérénice Beto), a marine biologist, whose fellow researchers are all killed by a deadly shark named Lilith. As a result she gives up studying climate-induced shark mutations—that is until five years later when Mika (Léa Léviant), an environmental activist, spots a huge shark prowling the Seine River just days before Paris hosts the World Triathlon Championship. Here’s the kicker: It’s the same shark Sophia was obsessed with. So naturally, Sophia dives back into her research to avert disaster. Now, it’s up to Sophia, Mika and a skeptical cop (Nassim Lyes) to stop a potential massacre before time runs out.
