In 1989, Steven Soderbergh was on top of the world. By 1995, he was underneath...THE UNDERNEATH, that is! We're talking Sodie's very loose remake of the 1949 Robert Siodmak film noir CRISS-CROSS (and the 1934 novel on which it was based), noir in the 1990s, armored cars, and Soderbergh's evolving film language as he becomes the director we all know and love. Nobody's favorite Sodie movie, but maybe somebody's favorite ep? Remains to be seen!
