Inside
A high-end art thief (Willem Dafoe) breaks into a luxury, high-tech penthouse to steal some valuable paintings, but upon exiting, the smart house system malfunctions trapping inside with little water or food as hours into days & days into weeks. He must improvise if he is going to survive & escape. Also the temperature inside changes from one extreme to the other as he starts to go a bit stir crazy & hallucinates. One day, he finds a hidden passage leading to a secret room. Will he finally escape or will he perish within? Or will someone finally come to his rescue? This psychological thriller is hard to watch as this frustrated man is trapped in this penthouse prison. Dafoe is desperately wonderful & tortured.
Alien gives it 2½ “saving art” stars out of 4.
