Critic Reviews for Inside Game

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (5)

Although the film dutifully follows a familiar path to the courtroom, along the way, it serves as a solid demonstration of the fissures that can form when the bonds of friendship are tested against those of familial loyalty.

Strong performances by Wolf, Sasso and Mabius enhance this true story of NBA betting.

Just sordid enough to make you feel a little dirty for having watched it

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
Sports fans looking for a rooting interest won't find one amid this parade of lowlifes and degenerates, while the embellished screenplay goes out of bounds.

Cinemalogue
It's serviceable but generic, going through the motions of a typical crime movie without coming up with much that's distinctive. And the one genuinely novel aspect of the story - a dirty NBA referee - is squandered.

...the events that transpire in Inside Game are better told as a documentary.

Danielle Solzman
Solzy at the Movies
"Inside Game" feels awfully small, while immersion into the world of bookies and sports betting is a major "love it or leave it" element of the viewing experience.

[I]t's Will Sasso who owns this film. He is the game-winner here. The first third of the film is driven by Sasso and his performance and energy as Baba. Upbeat, happy, fun-loving. He sets the initial tone of the film and draws us into this triumvirate.
