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, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
A departure from the run-of- the-mill thriller.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
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, Washington Post
Rotten
As tales of sex and sinfulness go, Soderbergh's fourth film doesn't deliver.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
