The Underneath Summary Peter Gallagher, Academy Award-nominee Elisabeth Shue And Joe Don Baker Set The Stage For Danger In This Provocative Thriller From The Director Of Sex, Lies And Videotape. A Charming Drifter Returns To His "home," Where He Makes A Desperate And Very Dangerous Deal In Order To Reclaim His Ex-girlfriend (alison Elliott). When Passion Ignites Into Obsession, A Treacherous Game Of "who Can You Trust?" Spins A Deadly Web Of Intrigue And Murder - From Which No One Escapes Unscathed.

Whereas most movie remakes are straightforward updates of older (and usually better) movies, this 1994 crime drama tries to revitalize an old story with a few tricks of its own. Using the 1949 film noir thriller Criss Cross as his primary inspiration, director Steven Soderbergh takes a different, stylistically adventurous approach to the story of a habitual screwup (Peter Gallagher) who returns to Austin, Texas, for his mother's wedding and tries to pick up where he left off. He left a lot of people angry at him, including his abandoned wife (Alison Elliott) and some book-makers looking for payment on old debts. He concocts a robbery scheme after taking a job with an armored car company, and from that point forward Underneath lives up to its title, using multiple flashbacks to relay the story of a man who slips below the border of propriety and gets himself into all kinds of trouble. Although it's too low-key to generate consistent excitement, the movie draws you in with its intriguing plot and characters, and the flashback structure keeps you guessing about what will happen next. Not a great film by any means, but in hindsight it can be viewed as valuable preparation for Soderbergh's highly underrated 1998 thriller Out of Sight. --Jeff Shannon
