This movie was very... with the script followed the events just as some remembered. The cast did fantastic. (especially Will Sasso and Betsy Beutler) The movie was action, funny ,
and entertaining. Now...the ball's........in your......court Go see it.
IF UR INTO GETTING THE EDGE FINDING THE LOCK BET OR JUST WANT TO WIN THEN DONT MISS OUT THIS SHOW GOT JUST ABOUT ALL OF THAT KNOWING THERE WEAKNESS MEANS CASHING IN UR BET
Possibly due to the fact that it was a true story. Inside Game tells a really cool story that in certain places felt too by-the-numbers and lacking emotion.
Loved Will Sasso in it. First time I ever seen him do something that was not funny. Not that the character he played was so complex that he could not do it but still he did great job with the material. I'm impressed.
He over shadowed Scott Wolf who I'm assuming most of the crowd went to see. Oh well. He was a main reason the film went bland too. He's reasoning in the film was to keep the story moving and he did such a lackluster job at it.
But otherwise it's a decent film cause of a good story it tells.
This movie is a riveting account of the 2007 NBA reffing scandal. Outstanding script, superb direction, and exceptional performances throughout. A must see!
In 2007 Tim Donaghy was caught leaking inside information in order to place bets on games that he was officiating. Through a tightly knit operation between him and his buddies, they were able to win millions of dollars. Anyone with a passion for basketball is most likely aware of the scandal that was happening right under their noses
The movie begins with an exposition heavy 10 minutes but once you´re past the hows and the whys, the film becomes an uneasy ride of daring decisions mixed with everyday life. Ultimately leading us to its inevitable ending. In my opinion, what makes ÏNSIDE GAME work is the focus on these guys and their home life. I was aware of the scandal when it happened just like a lot of people were. We knew what happened and this movie portrays that pretty well.
I´d like to avoid spoilers (In case some of you havent seen the movie). What really shines here are Sasso and Wolf. For a guy who spit lemons from his mouth on social media, I must say that I was very impressed with his performance. Wolf and Sasso both manage to make the film feel genuine, as it is such a crazy story.
I give the film 8 out of 10 stars as there are certain points i feel were either glossed over or not treated properly. Some scenes just didn´t hit like they should´ve but overall i think this is a film worth watching for any NBA fans or gamblers out there.
