There's a shark in the Seine. Go! That's the wonderfully effective premise of 'Under Paris,' which opens in a water garbage dump in the Pacific where we're introduced to a marine researcher named Sophia Assalas who is hunting a mako shark named Lilith...
The attention that the event will bring to the city gives 'Under Paris' a nice layer of 'Jaws'-esque tension with Sophia and her team knowing that there's danger in the water but the mayor refusing to take the precautions necessary...
Caught in the middle of the tug-of-war between Sophia and the mayor is a cop named Adil, who everyone knows will eventually be convinced by Sophia to do something to stop the upcoming watery bloodshed...
Gens and his team of writers-there are four credited-take a bit too long setting things up, but they deliver when they need to, obviously foreshadowing the carnage to come in the final scenes of 'Under Paris'...
