Editorial Review:
Ryan Phillippe (GOSFORD PARK, CRUEL INTENTIONS) leads a hot young cast in this riveting psychological thriller. When Simon (Phillippe) awakens in the hospital after surviving a near-fatal accident, amnesia has erased the last two years from his memory. He learns that his brother (Robert Sean Leonard --DRIVE, DEAD POETS SOCIETY) was killed, he has married a woman he doesn't remember (Piper Perabo -- CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, COYOTE UGLY) . . . and he's haunted by strange visions of the woman he loved (Sarah Polley -- DAWN OF THE DEAD, GO). Soon, he starts to uncover the truth behind his brother's death and unravel the unbelievable turns his life has taken! If you liked the hit thriller MEMENTO, you're sure to love THE I INSIDE.
The I Inside Reviews:
Puzzle Piece 
2008-11-12 - I forgot that I'd watched Roland Suso Richter's "The I Inside" so I rented it a second time. Ryan Phillippe plays Simon Cable, an accident victim who has lost his memory. Phillippe has played in some films that I've watched recently such as Stop-Loss, Breach (Widescreen Edition) & Chaos. He does a good job with the tensions of trying to work out a puzzle, being time shifted between 2000 & 2002, and finding himself in various locations with the blink of an eye. He fails to remember that he got married to a woman who likes his money more than him. Piper Pearbo who was in The Prestige & 10th and Wolf plays a cold icy wife in 2002 and the uncertain nurse in 2000. She does a good job with bouncing between the two roles. Robert Sean Leonard who plays Dr. James Wilson on TV's "House" plays Simon's dead brother Peter. It is trying to recall those events upon which the film hinges. Sarah Poley had an Oscar nomination last year for Best Adapted Screenplay for the film Away from Her that starred Julie Christie. Here she plays Claire, a love interest that came between the two brothers. Stephen Rea who did a great job in Tara Road plays the pediatrician Dr. Newman who treats Simon, for a reason we come to find out at the end of the film. Stephen Lang who plays a heart transplant patient, British actress Rakie Ayola who plays Nurse Clayton and Stephen Graham from Gangs of New York (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) as the orderly Travis all do sterling jobs in small but important supporting roles. The star of this film is its editing as the plot bounces around in Simon's confused mind. The ending was a bit of a downer for me, kind of a "Groundhogs Day" repetition. I was interested through most of the film and then asked myself "Is that all there is?" as the credits rolled. Still, it is a stylish puzzle piece, worth watching once or twice, depending on if you remember that you've seen it! Enjoy!
Great Condition!! 
2008-06-09 - This is an amazing movie--The seller's price was great, the shipping was quick, and it was in great condition!
Craziness...
2006-08-31 - This movie jumps around so much, everyone I know that has watched it has a different opinion of what the movie is even about. And with Ryan who could not love this movie!!
What is the purpose ? 
2005-12-05 - Where did this movie come from ? Was it a theatrical release? I stumbled upon this by accident. I thought it would be a stinker and I was right! Ryan P. has only played in two movies I have liked and that was "Way of the Gun" and "Cruel intentions." This movie tries too hard to be a weird psycological thriller. Which the only thing it does is dance around a cut close easy subject. The movie's payoff could have been explained in 30 min. Just like that movie Abandon. I hate movies like that, there aren't many David lynch's out there. Trust me, this isn't worth it after u watch this once in the garbage it goes. This isn't a deep thriller at all. The end is basically nothing surprising, nothing u couldn't write on ur own. The movie is loaded with flashbacks ! This and "The Jacket" are almost the same movie ! Only this throws a little violent twist in it . I am the king of psycological thrillers and this one is junk ! Probably why this is so far under the radiar !
Ryan Phillippe gives a superb performance...one of his best so far
2005-10-30 - Ryan Phillippe (Crash (2005), Cruel Intentions) plays a man who awakens from a hospital bed and finds out that he was dead for 2 minutes. He also thinks that its the year 2000 in which it is not, it seems he lost memory of the last 2 years, so it is now 2002. So, Phillippe is left to recover from his accident and he finds out that his brother, played by Robert Sean Leonard (Last Days Of Disco, Swing Kids) didnt make it. He try to fit the pieces of the puzzle together in his mind and find out what really happened? But as he progesses he goes back in time to 2000, is this his imagination? Was he really in 2000 and did he go back to 2002 or is there something else? Interesting mind teaser story has Phillippe giving one of his best so far. Also starring Sarah Polley (Dawn of the Dead (2004), My Life Without Me), Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly, Lost and Delirious), Stephen Rea (...), Stephen Lang (Gods and Generals) and Stephen Graham (Snatch, Gangs of New York).
