As it happens week after week, Netflix keeps adding new titles to its catalog, and in recent days, one of them has been a shark thriller that could easily compete with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.
This is “Under Paris“, the new suspense and action film directed by Xavier Gens. Belonging to the horror and drama genre, the project tells a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat minute by minute.
It was released on the streaming giant on June 5, so it has only been on the platform for two days and has already become the most-watched title so far, both globally and in the United States.
Under Paris is the No. 1 movie on Netflix worldwide
Having been added to the catalog just two days ago, “Under Paris” has become the strongest trend on Netflix in recent hours, currently being the most-watched movie on the platform both globally and in the US.
Flix Patrol reported that the shark thriller not only managed to top the global Top 10 but also captivated American users in the same way, dethroning other successful productions along the way.
The plot centers on Sophia, a brilliant scientist who discovers that a large shark is swimming in the depths of the Seine River just as Paris prepares to host the World Triathlon Championships.
As the shark threat becomes imminent, Sophia joins forces with Mika, a young environmental activist, and Adil, a commander of the Seine River police, to prevent a catastrophe in the city.
The drama is not only complex but also, if you’re attracted to elevated titles in the genre, it is the ideal option to watch. It mixes action, suspense and the right touch of horror that makes the movie super interesting.
The cast is full of talent, with the main characters portrayed by Argentine Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) and French Nassim Lyes (Birds of Paradise), among other notable figures of the industry.
