The Underneath (1995)

Rate: 4
Viewed: 7/14

7/14: Fifteen minutes into The Underneath, the only thing I could think of was Criss Cross.

At least, Steven Soderbergh won't be accused of being a hack because he'll go on to implement many techniques in Out of Sight, The Limey, and, most notably, Traffic.

Hence, the ripped-off plot is annoying to sit through because I rather see Burt Lancaster, not Peter Gallagher whom I like but prefer in a supporting role. I'm not sure what the deal is with Elisabeth Shue since she adds nothing to the grand scheme of things. Of course, the ending isn't a surprise.

All in all, it's best to see Criss Cross.
