UNDER PARIS

Someone had a macabre sense of humour when they decided to release a film about a mutant mako shark in the Seine River, six weeks before it hosts several open water swimming events as part of the Paris Olympic Games. What a mind f@ck! The rampant shark in ‘Under Paris’ is much larger than she […]

The other 20% was schmaltz, over-acting, predictable dialogue, jerk characters, country music, nonsense about ploymers taming […]
