Revolt of the doomed "Bad is the soldier who does not want to be a general" - and you do not dig into the surprisingly true saying. In this case, this applies to a certain D. W. Brown. He was engaged in the fact that he appeared occasionally in the movies, it happened that he took part in famous TV series, for example, in the ambulance, but this subject did not gain special laurels. And by 2011, he finally manages to embody his own brainchild, called “Inside”. Of course, this tape can be called the author's, but the technical quality of the film - it is not much inferior to the paintings, which have a budget much larger than $ 4 million, and more famous actors play.
Inside starred Nick Stahl, Dash Majok and Olivia Wilde. Nick Stahl is the same John Connor from the third “Terminator”, who replaced Edward Furlong, who played well in the second part of the great epic. And many said that Stahl's game wasn't under any criticism, and it was another shake-up of the third Terminator, the worst part of the franchise so far. But Stall had a more interesting role - he played a little boy who began to learn from the hero Mel Gibson in the heartwarming film "Man without a face", that would have all the roles in Stal were such, and not like this in the second "Mirrors". Perhaps it’s worth saying that in Inside, Nick Stahl wasn’t an acting horror. It is doubtful, of course, that everyone can like him in this picture, but he convinced me in several episodes, still demonstrating that he managed to embody a rather integral image and thus Nick Became competently and clearly entered the atmosphere of the picture and he is remembered. This is especially true for the opening and final episodes, where the inner drama of the hero Stal comes out.
Dash Majok is an actor who says, “I’ve seen him somewhere, but I can’t remember where.” In the film “Inside” he was given the character of the main antagonist, a murderer with a bloated gene of sadism. He's making a whole escape from a mental hospital for inmates, but he just doesn't want to leave, he still has to inherit blood. The conflict between the characters of Nick Stahl and Dash Mayoc in some ways even resembles the conflict between Nicholas Cage and Nick Chinland from “Air Prison”. Majok was also, fragmentarily, persuasive, although to portray to the end what his hero, a psychopathic murderer, he managed with great difficulty and not always he brought fear and horror, as demanded by his role. Olivia Wilde appears in the film as a heroine who is required in the overwhelming number of psychological thrillers, which, in essence, is the film “Inside”. This is the passion of the main character, but he put his eye on it and the main villain. In this case, the conflict of good and evil goes to a new level. Let me remind you that one of these revealing fragments is the storyline of Tom Cruise (good) and Dugray Scott (bad) in love with the heroine Tandy Newton in the second Mission: Impossible.
Among the secondary personalities, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Shore Agdashla attract attention, who at one time even received an Oscar nomination for best supporting role in the drama House of Sand and Fog. The first time (sorry for the tautology) plays a madman. He showed it quite well in Identity, which was only worth his crazy look, looking through everyone. This is how Pruitt Taylor Vince appears here, so you can say that these roles are his and he does not spoil the pictures. But the heroine Shore Aghdashl wanted to give a weighty tomak for her behavior and disregard for her patients (they play the attending physician). The kind of cowardly and narcissistic sister Ratchet from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." I can now even understand why she was nominated: her character, who appears five times over, has about the same lines, remembers and is angry with her. You have to play like that.
“Inside” clearly gives way to dynamic “claustrophobic” thrillers. It has a clearly ragged pace and some climax episodes are devoid of atmosphericity, the discharge of lightning in the form of emotions. The viewer can sense when a component is missing. Here are questions to D. W. Brown: why the main character was in the hospital, because he does not look like a madman; why patients-inmates almost freely walk around the hospital; why conflicts between patients do not calm down in any way, although there are cameras? In general, a lot of noticeable blots in D. W. Brown, therefore, did not attract attention to his film. Although it's a good idea, which could be the basis for a strong, downed thriller. Let's see if someone can use it.
Not quite a successful psychological thriller, which you can safely say that if you miss it, you will not lose anything. But the small role of Shore Agdashlu attracts attention, as does the participation of Olivia Wilde, who has recently gained a good move and starred in notable projects (though we will see if her career will reflect the birth of a child in 2014).
