On Netflix. Is it any good? Or does it have enough Stanley Tucci and David Tenant in it for the story line to not matter?

It’s shite.

Enjoyed the first episode and it’s very much downhill from there.

I loved it! But mainly for the acting. The plot was questionable at times!

KingKhazi · 25/07/2023 20:53

Watched it all but have no idea what was going on

Even with ST & DT in it?

I think we've ran out of Netflix!

Even the wonderful Stanley couldn't raise it above awful.

Oh bugger I thought you meant the Clive Owen film,

That's a really good film.

I'm so disappointed!

Now to spend the evening hunting through 1,000 auto play intros before bed!

I don't know why, and don't shoot me, but Clive Owen makes my skin crawl.. I'd probably make his skin crawl too.

Nooo! Say it aint so!

Anyway Denzel Washington is in it... Christopher plummer.... my current crush Willem Dafoe.

many ... many reasons to get over the pain barrier that is Clive Owen. :)

LosingTheBelly · 25/07/2023 21:05

And Jodie Foster (another crush)

Plus it features diamonds, Diamonds. Lots and lots of diamonds.

It's all good.

It's awful, don't bother!

BillyBraggisnotmylover · 25/07/2023 21:14

Quite liked Inside Man! (The tv show). Do remember it getting very silly but still, it passed a few hours!

TiktokFamousDog · 25/07/2023 21:17

It was so awful, we didn’t finish it.

Wiccan · 25/07/2023 21:25

Have to agree on Clive Owen the guy just annoys me . Inside man ( netflix ) was watchable to a point usual moral ( we all have a dark side). glad that Tilly Vosburgh only had a small part as she creeps me out. It was mostly awful.

I didn't listen... we watched some of it... it's AWFUL!

Characters making ridiculous decisions to fit a story.

I don't know what the writers were thinking but it was absolutely bonkers.

Awful! It really is just people making poor decisions for no reason! I thought there'd be a big twist, like the vicar was actually a paedo, but no. It was just utter crap!!

Is it based on the movie with Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and I think Jodie Foster?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 27/07/2023 22:32

I do wonder if a lesser known writer who wasn’t married to a highly respected producer would ever have got anywhere with that plot. It stretched credibility to breaking point and beyond.

Tezza1 · 27/07/2023 22:39

Sorry, should have kept on reading. My question was answered.

I loved Christopher Plummer. When I saw "Sound of Music" as a 10 year old, I thought he was the best thing about it. A decade years later I even found him attractive playing a particularly unpleasant character that a very young Robert Redford's character described as the Lord of Darkness in the movie "Inside Daisy Clover".

OneFrenchEgg · 17/10/2023 22:37

Watching it now. Got about 15 minutes in and it's absolute shite.
