10 Recent Movie Plot Twists Nobody Saw Coming
9. Paris Gets Flooded - Under Paris
On the face of it, Netflix's Under Paris seemed like a garden variety creature feature and nothing more, in which the residents of Paris face off against a giant shark.
But to the filmmakers' credit, they bamboozled audiences with one hell of an unexpected final sting, where the movie transforms from a modest Jaws-like into a full-on, ultra-chaotic disaster flick in its own right.
At the end, researcher protagonist Sophia (Bérénice Bejo) hatches a plan to blow the sharks up, but the pesky military screws it up when they start firing indiscriminately into the Seine at the big mama shark, Lilith.
Some of these bullets hit some unexploded munitions which have been at the bottom of the river since World War II, triggering a gigantic chain reaction of explosions which destroys downtown Paris, leaving it flooded.
The final scene sees Sophie and Adil (Nassim Lyes) resting on debris while being surrounded by hungry sharks, before the end credits make it clear that the sharks have spread worldwide, setting up one hell of a wild sequel which is currently in development.
