Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Without spoiling anything, the plot of The I Inside really disappoints me.But it's still quite watchable. The blending of the stories is very well done. The main cast and supporting cast are excellent. The whole atmosphere is menacing and uncomfortable, in the right kind of way. And it's always nice to see Robert Sean Leonard in something. Even something that falls a bit flat, like this.Just wish they had sat down and worked it out properly before they started making it.I'd say watch it if you have nothing else to, it won't wreck your day.But it could have been so much more.
This is a little seen thriller and it's almost a shame, because it has quite a few good ideas. Some work, some might not work for you, but the overall story is very complex and very well told. It's not a movie, where you could say exactly where it is going. I don't think you could tell unless you had read quite a few articles on the film, which would be a shame.But Ryan Phillipe does a great job, conveying this complex and very difficult emotional role he has to play. It's not only trying to keep up, where you are exactly (in the script), but in the overall structure of the movie. I know that some think that it does fall short towards the end, and I get the sentiment. But I still think the ending is pretty strong, to still make you rather like the viewing, than not.
"When Simon (Ryan Phillippe) awakens in the hospital after surviving a near-fatal accident, amnesia has erased the last two years from his memory. He learns that his brother (Robert Sean Leonard) was killed, he has married a woman he doesn't remember (Piper Perabo) and he's haunted by strange visions of the woman he loved (Sarah Polley). Soon, he starts to uncover the truth behind his brother's death and unravel the unbelievable turns his life has taken " Actually (or perhaps not ), Mr. Phillippe falls in love with his estranged brother's fiancée (Ms. Polley), which results in a violent confrontation - and, an even more tragic car accident, involving all three. Roland Suso Richter's direction of Michael Cooney's "Point of Death" is intriguing, engrossing, and imaginatively plotted. But, the ending does not really fulfill the film's promises - and, the lead character's relationships with both brother and lover lack passion. Still, it's more good than not.****** The I Inside (2003) Roland Suso Richter ~ Ryan Phillippe, Piper Perabo, Sarah Polley
I hated this movie, but I dislike a lot of movies that others seem to love--like A Beautiful Mind or the Usual Suspects. So if you loved those shows, read no further. I'm only posting this for the benefit of people with similar tastes, so they can avoid this one. At least A Beautiful Mind and the Usual Suspects had some entertainment value. This show has none. Only weirdness, and in a very annoying way.For me, a film has a duty to the viewer to be fair--to not resort to the cheapness of portraying a dream, delusion, or fantasy as reality. It's fine if the character doesn't know what's going on. It's even fine if the audience doesn't for a while, but I find it incredibly annoying to invest a couple of hours into a story only to find out in the end that it was all just a dream.This movie is very cheap in that way. You might like it if you're fifteen years old, don't care if a story makes any sense, and just like weirdness, but I hated. I sensed early on that this was one of those annoying movies that offered no clarity, so I fast forwarded and watched the ending. Well, the ending made no sense and so at that point I gave up on the show and came to IMDb. After reading the posts here and the tremendous amount of confusion this movie caused, I have no interest in watching it all the way through. This is one movie that should have never been made.
