Trivia
Originally titled 'The Gemini Lounge' after the bar the film is centred around (some countries still retain this name).

Goofs
A couple of the characters portrayed in the film have body tattoos. Tattoo's were not very popular during the time frame the movie takes place (early 1980s). The American men who had them were primarily military, carnies, or convicts. It was extremely rare for women to even have tattoos back then.

Quotes
Bobby Belucci: What time do you get off?
Gina: You tell me.

Tries and fails to be Goodfellas

Inside Man starts decent enough with Emile Hirsch playing a cop with anger managment problems who convinces his captain to let him go undercover to infiltrate the mob.

The film attempts to copy Scorcese's style with Emile Hirsch narrating over slow motion montages scored with guitar / rock music. There is harsh realistic violence, scenes of hits, people being tortured, cut to pieces and being disposed in garbage bags. There are a few tense scenes.

However the film is less than the sum of its parts. It fails to connect. Where Goodfellas or Casino pulled you in, made everything feel grandiose and meaningful, the plot here amounts to very little, and Emile Hirsch's protagonist is neither interesting or engaging. His acting is a mixed back here. Great in some scenes, deer in the headlight in others. There's no way experienced mobsters wouldn't have sniffed him out as he was flinching and staring in utter horror during the killings.

The mobsters themselves are sadly forgettable. There's no colorful characters here portrayed by veteran actors like Pesci or DeNiro.

Inside man isn't unwatchable, I was just bored by it.
