Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Too chaotic to work as a thriller.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
rotten:
What The Underneath lacks is the kind of emotional connection that the best film noirs have. Instead of involving, this film is distancing, too given to admiring its own shiny surface.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
A departure from the run-of- the-mill thriller.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
Downbeat, laconically funny, arty (maybe a touch too arty), it's simmering, smoldering lowlife fun, like a good episode of Twin Peaks without the self-conscious weirdness.
– Joe Brown,

rotten:
As tales of sex and sinfulness go, Soderbergh's fourth film doesn't deliver.
