Los Angeles Times

A committed cast fails to elevate "Beneath the Leaves," an otherwise draggy and derivative thriller about a psychotic killer whose M.O. involves fatally injecting his victims with potassium chloride before harvesting their fingernails.

The Hollywood Reporter

A dull policier whose seemingly sincere interest in PTSD and abuse doesn't make up for its lack of inspiration.

I kept thinking back to Jenna Maroney's brief foray into playing a detective on 30 Rock as she became Alexis Goodlooking who was good-looking and good...at looking for clues.

Rated: 2.5/5

Flickering Myth

On the whole, Beneath the Leaves functions as a mean little thriller with a tight enough plot

Rated: 3/5

Really quite bad. Terrible narrative, opaque storytelling and weird direction provide a confusing and disappointing movie. The actors did well, but otherwise it's awful.

The cast can't do anything with this paper thin script.

I have to say I was a little shocked by some of the inappropriate timing of the so-called humor the movie has. It starts out well with an interesting story and then it becomes a farce. It's slow, boring, and the acting is really bad.

I love Mira and Paul Sorvino but sad to say if I didnt know this movie was supposed to a serious crime thriller, I would have thought it was actually a parody.
