“Inside” follows a thief who gets trapped in a New York penthouse apartment for several months while performing a heist. If the premise itself doesn’t sound tantalizing enough, then Willem Dafoe’s performance surely will. In the “fiction feature directorial debut” of Vasilis Katsoupis (via Screen Daily), the film will see Willem Dafoe in the lead as art thief Nemo who must fight tooth and nail to survive in the isolated apartment. Dafoe delivers a raw and jolting performance in a two-and-a-half-minute trailer.
Fan reactions have been pouring in, all in awe of Dafoe’s incredible work. On Twitter, user @toddthefox puts it bluntly, “That ‘Inside’ movie looks either deceptively mid or like it’s gonna be the one to finally get Willem Dafoe his Oscar and there is no in-between.” Similarly, @Road2Oscars had their worries about the film, saying, “I saw this trailer in the theater recently and thought this is either gonna be amazing or tiring. I’m banking on the former. It’s Willem Dafoe!”
