`Under Paris (Sous la Seine)` movie review: The opening sequence is pretty effective but after that there’s not much here to get terrorised about

Under Paris
Imagine a shark infested river… ‘Under Paris’ wants you to believe in that flimsy, improbable premise. Director Xavier Gens credited for the screenplay alongside Yannick Dahan and Maud Heywang, which in turn originates from a blueprint by Yaël Langmann and Olivier Torres, who themselves have adapted the idea by Edouard Duprey and Sébastien Auscher, make a mess of it all. Did not think it would take so many ideas, originators and writers to make something so unexciting and forgettable.
The opening sequence has an entire research group being terrorised and gobbled up by a shark. Sophia (Bérénice Bejo) the brilliant marine scientist’s husband was one of the victims of that opening shark attack.
