'Under Paris' leaves viewers on the edge with its thrilling storyline.

If you're looking for a thrilling movie to watch on Netflix this weekend, 'Under Paris' might be the perfect choice. Directed by Xavier Gens, this shark flick has been the talk of the town since its release.


The film follows Sophia, portrayed by French-Argentine actor Bérénice Bejo, as she discovers a massive shark swimming in the Seine river just before the city's popular triathlon. Despite her warnings, local officials ignore her, leading to a terrifying bloodbath during the event.



A trailer for the film shows Sophia examining a map with the shark's route, accompanied by her thoughts: "We've got a signal. It's not possible." The film intensifies as a French politician confirms the triathlon will proceed, dismissing the dangers.

Following its release, viewers have taken to social media to praise 'Under Paris.' One viewer commented on X, "Under Paris on Netflix was so good." Another added, "The first few minutes of this new Netflix killer shark movie are remarkable, really luscious hi-def digital images with an almost sculptural use of light."


Critics have also given positive reviews. Decider's John Serba wrote, "We don't go into a shark thriller with high expectations, so 'Under Paris' being merely good enough is plenty to warrant a recommendation." Variety's Michael Nordine remarked, "Look no further than 'Under Paris' for an answer to the hypothetical that surely keeps Emmanuel Macron up at night."

'Under Paris' is available to stream on Netflix now.
