Raul Faust I just began watching the movie and realized that Simon was Sebastian in Cruel Intentions. The beginning of the movie, 'till half an hour, moved quickly. It intrigued the spectator and we innocently thought there was gonna be an answer at the end. Sadly there wasn't. "The I Inside" could had been much better. All the "comes" and "goes" kinda of confused me and at one time I was unable to distinguish the characters. At least the message of the movie was great: "You can't change the past" - simple as that. It seems to me that Ryan Phillippe works better playing the bad guy as he did in C.I. Watchable, but I wouldn't watch again nor recommend to my friends.

oparthenon I'm surprised that some user comments found "The I Inside" even marginally watchable; there may be some star attraction in Sarah Polley or Ryan Philippe, but they are both ill used, and it is difficult for me, at least, to imagine genuine tears falling from Philippe's eyes as he mourns his existential condition with lines like, "This can't be --expletive deleted-- true!" and a moment later (as we switch to existential condition #2) "This can't be --another expletive-- happening!" (A reflective person, one gathers, this character apparently isn't.) Indeed, the action of the film (such as there is) is so preposterous, one can't imagine it happening anyway; but then this film knows not whether it is sci-fi or thriller, mystery or psychological drama -- no wonder the audience is reduced to focusing on its stars rather than on what they say or do as characters. Sorry -- a 2 star rating to a film that features glamorous actors in unglamorous, unflattering roles, and is absurd in the event to boot.

sebgeddes I found this a very refreshing film in that the camera angles are creative without becoming annoying, and the focus is on the characters rather than on effects. As has already been said here, though, "The I Inside" does try to get a bit too clever for its own good, and the very last sequence should simply have been dropped in my opinion. Interestingly enough, there is an alternative ending supplied, which was much closer to how I would have liked things to have gone. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something off the mainstream, but it should be taken with a "the film's what you make of it" approach towards the end to still be enjoyed. Oh, and if you liked "Jacob's Ladder" it's a must-see...

jpschapira What happens when you go to the cinema to watch "Just My Luck" but it is sold out, and so is "RV" and "United 93", and "The Ant Bully" and, believe it or not, "Curious George" where films you could see earlier? You end up watching "The I Inside". I don't want to write about this movie… I don't want to write about this movie. With a lot (a lot) of delay, "The I Inside" has arrived to our cinema theaters.What on earth went wrong here? I can do some research and find the answer, although if isn't worth the space of my page. Roland Suso Richter, a German director, came to try in Hollywood and directed this picture. He's too stylish for what the viewer is used to see. He invents too much and ends up confusing him (although that's in part fault of the screenplay). What happened to him? He is directing TV in Germany and Hollywood hasn't looked for him in three years.Writer Michael Cooney…Is this the same guy that wrote "Identity"? Is it possible for him to write such a mess as "The I Inside"? Apparently it is, and if you want to save him you could forgive him because the screenplay was adapted from his own play, and as I have said before, a play can be good but it doesn't have to make a good movie. Joined by Timothy Scott Bogart, Cooney takes you inside the world of a man who is able to change the future by changing the past.I mean, of course the material they had in their hands was interesting; it could have created a cult classic or something everyone would have talked about. But that's not how it went down, and if you try to understand the film, you will get to the bottom of it. There is an explanation; but you're so tired by the time it arrives that you don't want to figure out anything.Tiring is one of the best words to define "The I Inside"; and it is impossible not to compare it with "The Butterfly Effect", a film where you don't want to get to the end. You've got to compare then because the first one sucks and the latter one is great; because the cast of the first one is way superior to the latter one's… I like Ryan Phillippe is a starring role: I liked "Cruel Intentions" and very much liked "Antitrust". But how can an actor like him not carry a film like this one? How can Ashton Kutcher do it better? Sarah Polley is much more talented than Amy Smart, but the same situation occurred. And Robert Sean Leonard; he is better than the whole 'Butterfly' cast put together…And Stephen Rea: he is an Oscar Nominated actor; please! You can also find Piper Perabo in "The I Inside" but I doubt you'll be interested after all I've said. Forgive me if I'm to harsh, but there are few movies as bad as this one…It's the truth.
