Inside (I) (2023)
7/10
It's a slow burn. Take it for what it actually is.

This film is pretty straight forward. You already understand the plot. You already should know what to expect. This isn't a crime caper. This isn't a heist film. This isn't an escape story. It's about being prisoner with very little options at your disposal. Trying to survive and not loose your sanity.

If you think you won't find this kind of story interesting enough to sit through for 1hr and 45mins than don't attempt to watch it, because you'll clearly find it boring. If you do think you would like to, I can assure you, this film with keep you entertained because it tells this story very well.

Defoe does a great job in this, as expected. It's a simple plot but it leaves you wondering just what else he'll think of next, only to be disappointed. This kind of movie is certainly not for everyone. There's no action. Very little dialog worth noting. But it executes the the plot perfectly imo.

I enjoyed it. I wasn't amazed because there's nothing amazing to this, but I was thoroughly entertained through out the film based on Defoe's performance and trying to imagine what it must feel like to be in his position. What one must think about or do. It's intriguing to be honest.

A nice change of pace for a change. Solid movie and a slow burn.

7/10.
