I can never think about 'What Lies Beneath' without remembering the above line written in a professional review of this movie. But really, 'What Lies Beneath' has little to do with the very good thriller 'The Sixth Sense'. It's more like 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' for the Babyboomer set. Here we have an older, attractive couple- amusingly enough, the Ford-Pfeiffer pairing seems to be an honest attempt to cast a woman old enough for the male lead, and there's still a 14 year age difference. At least H.F. and M.P. are good in their fairly one-dimensional roles. Anyway, one of them 'did' a bad thing and of course it's going to come back and haunt them. 'It' is a young woman that has disappeared, and Agent Michelle is on the case. 'What Lies Beneath' has got a lot of jump scenes- complete with musical spikes- and a couple of genuine thrills, but I think I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more if I hadn't correctly guessed the ending 45 minutes in.
