Newman refers to Simon's two-year amnesiac memory gap as "short-term memory loss".
Short-term memory is measured in seconds, not years.
I scanned a few of the other IMDb user reviews before writing my own, and I have the opposite opinion regarding the pace of the film. In the beginning I was somewhat bored and distracted by the cheesy elements of the film - cliché "dramatic" music, etc.
In 2004, a film was released that starred a 'Pretty Boy' actor going back and forth in his memories and thinking he just may affect the past. That film was "The Butterfly Effect".
An amnesiac (Ryan Philippe) discovers himself leaping through time between 2000 and 2002 as his past returns to him.This film has a decent cast.
Imagine waking up in the hospital after an accident, not knowing what happened, and then realizing that it's two years later than you thought it was. That is the dilemma faced by Simon Cable in The I Inside.
I've never liked the idea of test screenings. The changes they make just end up neutering a movie and making it "safe" for the general masses.
Well,well. This is a corker of a movie.
A film about the fight against the traps of past, the search of gestures sense and about the truth like puzzle. A story about the dreams, guilty and death.
Evidently The I Inside is not due for release in the UK until 2005, but Frightfest in London screened this on 28 August 2004. This starts off very promising, with Ryan Phillippe's character Simon Cable regaining consciousness in the year 2002 and again in 2000, not entirely sure what he has been doing with his life during the two intervening years.
This is one of those movies you'll spend in awe of how utterly stupid the main character is. Constantly making dumb decisions not because of honest mistakes, but because the writers couldn't think of how to continue the poor excuse for a plot without him constantly buggering up.
