Critics Consensus

Marrying environmental themes with bloody thrills, this Gallic entry into the shark attack canon ultimately lands on the right side of ridiculous fun.

Linda Holmes

NPR

It unfolds like a fairly classy suspense film about a rarely seen threat. It does not look cheap in the way Sharknado did, for instance. It’s quite competently shot and edited, it’s tense, and it’s frightening. In other words, it gets the job done.

Empire Magazine

A solid shark thriller whose admirable but clunky eco-warnings almost get in the way of a good time. Best when it allows itself to really go in-Seine.

Rated: 3/5

Polygon

One of the most substantive of the many aquatic-attack horror movies that have tried to coast along in the wake of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws… But when the inevitable bloodbath starts, Under Paris seems to be cribbing from much messier shark attack movies.

Rated: 42/100

Gone With The Twins

The awkwardness of a CG monstrosity darting around escalates; the movements are terribly amateurish in their designs.

Rated: 5/10

Dumb yet creative, preachy yet thrilling, this horror/disaster movie takes its outlandish premise to all the places that fans of the killer shark genre will appreciate.

There are moments that betray this inevitability, of course, but its tone never hesitates. Played completely straight, no one in this film seems to notice how ridiculous their predicament is.

I compare most shark movies to jaws and it falls short by miles. This movie is more of an activist movie. The message is good but it's more an activist, save the ocean movie than a jaws type movie.

This movie was great! I'll admit it incorporated tropes that were present in Jaws, but this movie was still really fun to watch and had a lot of intense moments. I definitely recommend it for thriller fans!

J’ai récemment regardé Sous la Seine sur Netflix, un thriller surprenant où un requin géant sème la panique en plein Paris, pendant le championnat du monde de triathlon. On suit Sophia, biologiste marine, qui tente avec Mika et Adil d’éviter un désastre. Malgré un scénario parfois exagéré, j’ai trouvé le film captivant. L’idée d’un requin dans la Seine est à la fois absurde et brillante, et le suspense fonctionne très bien. J’étais accro jusqu’à la fin. Le film a reçu des critiques partagées en France, mais a connu un grand succès à l’international. Ce n’est peut-être pas un chef-d’œuvre, mais c’est un divertissement efficace et original.

I love shark movies, and this one is no different. It's a great movie with a horrible ending.

I needed a time-passer on Netflix so I watched this, my expectations were low but it did deliver. At some point I was thinking that it was almost as good as Jaws.
