Under Paris feels like an awkward attempt to recreate the suspense of *Jaws*, but it falls short. It’s filled with the expected progressive themes that have become standard for Netflix movies, yet what truly stood out was how unbelievably far-fetched the plot becomes. The film begins with a team of male divers sent to examine a site in the ocean where trash has accumulated and trapped dolphins and other deceased marine animals. Sharks appear soon after, including a female shark that a scientific group has been tracking. For reasons that aren’t clear, this shark has grown dramatically, prompting their seemingly all-knowing female supervisor to ask the divers to collect “a sample” from the creature for research—instead of doing what would be logical and running away. As you might expect, the shark doesn't react well to being sampled and proceeds to eat the divers. At that point, our courageous female protagonist, who has just seen her research team members attacked, dives into the water armed with a spear gun that wouldn’t intimidate a large tuna, intending to face the monster. Things don't improve from there, without giving away details for those considering watching it. It seems like a basic question: if you're making this type of film, why can't you make it at least somewhat plausible? The performances are acceptable and the action scenes aren’t bad, but the feeling of dread that made *Jaws* so effective is largely missing—a vital element for what is essentially a monster movie. Ultimately, the movie fails because of its unbelievable story and uninspired dialogue. If you're in the mood for an ocean-based creature feature, *Jaws* would be a better choice.
