Storyline

- TriviaAlthough it may appear that a large number of triathletes are swimming in the Seine, this was not the case. Those scenes were filmed at an open-air water tank in Alicante, Spain. (Famously, the Seine has been deemed too polluted to swim in, something which the French authorities have spent upwards of a billion euros to rectify.)
- GoofsWhen displaying the 3000 miles journey of the shark, it is shown to have swum up the wrong river, namely the Loire, that flows about 200 km south of Paris. The mayor of Orléans, a prominent city on the Loire, cheekily urged his citizens not to panic if they caught a glimpse of a huge fin, that would just be the lost shark hurrying on its way to shoot the movie.

Featured review
As mentioned above, I actually found this film to be quite entertaining. This film is full of typical shark film clichés; stupid characters, ignorant person in power and strange looking CGI. It had some intriguing elements that stacked this film above the rest of shark films, like The Shallows or The Meg. This film feels a little bit more than a simple rehashing of a survival story. The two main characters have to battle a large, complex shark against the backdrop of Paris. No spoilers, but I would definitely recommend that you watch the entire film until the end for the ultimate conclusion. The characters here are forgettable and, once again, most of them fall easily into the stereotypical roles that people in shark films have to in order for the body count to be higher.
Overall, this film was much better than I anticipated it to be, with the middle dragging out until the tension finally starts to ramp up.
