Below Par - 2.25 out of 5 (4/16/1999)
Following his debut with Sex Lies and Videotape, not a lot of was heard about Steven Soderbergh until his recent success, Out of Sight. The Underneath affords the opportunity to show what he was up to in the intervening years.
According to the production notes, Soderbergh was not that interested in the plot, more in the characters. Well, the plot's not that interesting but that's okay; unfortunately , however, neither are the characters. Briefly: drifter/gambler returns home to get re-aquainted

A WOMAN'S REVENGE - 4.25 out of 5 (2/1/1999)

Below-average laserdisc quality - 2.5 out of 5 (1/8/1999)
Like most other Universal titles, this non-anamorphic DVD seems to have the same source of the laserdisc, proberbly D2. Slant lines are almost stepped, and every detail suffers from poor line resolution. What a shame for this brilliant atmospheric 'noir' which looked so good on film. Sound is 5.0ch, missing .1ch credited on the jacket and everywhere else (including this Empire site). Surround effects are very limited. Some additional materials have inexplicable CHAPTERS(!) telling its source...
