Inside Man Movie Review

admin — Sun, 09 Mar 2025 22:08:01 +0000

Bobby Belucci (Emile Hirsch) is a New York cop with anger issues and a failing marriage. After he catches his wife Mary (Ashley Greene ) having an affair, he beats the poor man bloody. He is soon stripped of his detective duties and assigned to a desk. One night while out drinking he runs into Chris (Jake Cannavale) who is being attacked in a bar. He beats Chris’s assailant and thus forms a relationship with the criminal.

He asks his Police Captain Rick (Bo Dietl) to let him use this accidental friendship as an intro to go undercover. Thus begins Bobby’s descent into criminality. He is soon charmed by the life and the feelings of belonging to a family and develops a very flexible relationship with the law. There are many times you think he might tip fully into the illegal lifestyle.

This internal conflict powers most of the dramatic tension in the film and provides a running dialogue told in a seedy voiceover by Hirsch. His ability to voice things with no real discernible moral code gives this cinematic device (which has never been a favourite) the ability to inform without giving too much away.

Based on actual events, Inside Man weaves its story through a morally ambiguous lens where the criminals are not painted one-dimensionally. Their ruthlessness and violent tendencies are there to be seen but so are the moments of camaraderie and friendship. This duality is tilted very much to the repugnant side when the final credits reveal how many of them met an untimely and gruesome end.

Inside Man is now available on DVD & Digital, including APPLE TV, PRIME VIDEO, & GOOGLE PLAY in Australia & New Zealand.

Freaks Movie Review

admin — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 16:11:30 +0000

Constantly forcing you to reevaluate the information you have been presented with, Freaks is a fluid cinema experience. Things you feel strongly about at the film’s beginning will drastically change by its end.

Seven year old Chloe (Lexy Kolker) lives in squalor with her farther (played by Emile Hirsch). He seems almost completely unhinged and Chloe is prohibited from having any contact with the outside world. Chloe deals with this isolation by living in a fantasy world or so it would appear.

The outside world is in a strange way, having to deal with beings that have powers, Freaks as they are referred to. They are rounded up and sequestered away in a mysterious location carved into a mountain. Any that are identified are immediately dealt with very harshly.

The film is very adapt at changing your outlook as you are presented with more information. Things that you thought represented a certain view are turned around quite often. All this leads to an ending that will leave you both chilled by the outcome and ready to watch it again with all the new information.
