Netflix Under-Rated Heist Movie Sparks Divided Opinions Among Viewers
A recent addition to the Netflix platform has sparked a heated debate among film enthusiasts, with some hailing it as an under-rated gem, while others have expressed disappointment. Inside Man: Most Wanted, a 2019 sequel to the 2006 hit film Inside Man, has landed on Netflix UK, prompting a mixed reaction from viewers.
According to a report, the film, which boasts a 68% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, has impressed some with its intense action sequences and intriguing plot twists, while leaving others wanting more. As noted by The Express, "the reviews for the film are mixed, with some being delighted to see it added to Netflix on May 5."
Inside Man: Most Wanted takes place five years after the events of the first film, which starred Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster and told the story of a bank robbery that turned into a tense hostage situation. The sequel follows a new group of robbers and a new heist, with the NYPD and FBI forced to act fast when tourists are taken hostage during a money heist.
As reported by The Express, some viewers have taken to online review platforms to express their enthusiasm for the film, with one reviewer describing it as "fun movie, intense at times, lots of twists, enjoyable characters, thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s under-rated." Another reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes noted that the action flick has an "interesting twist", while a third praised the film’s "clever spin on Ocean’s Eleven style subterfuge" and the chemistry between the cast members.
However, not all viewers share the same opinion. Some have expressed disappointment with the film, with one reviewer describing it as a "waste of a remake", while another stated that it was "nothing close to the original". A third reviewer was equally unimpressed, writing: "Missed on every level. Just watch ‘The Insider’, a superior movie on every frame!" A fourth reviewer also criticised the film, saying: "A very unnecessary sequel that tries to add to the original movie, but at the same time it disrespects it."
Despite the mixed reviews, Inside Man: Most Wanted has managed to climb its way to the top 10 most popular films on Netflix, with many viewers seemingly discovering the film for the first time. As The Express reports, the film’s addition to the platform has sparked a renewed interest in the Inside Man franchise, with some viewers seeking out the original film to watch.
The original Inside Man film, which is currently available to stream on Tubi, tells the story of a bank robbery that turns into a tense hostage situation. The film’s success can be attributed to its clever plot twists and the chemistry between its lead actors, Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster. While Inside Man: Most Wanted may not have lived up to the standards set by its predecessor, it has still managed to entertain some viewers with its action-packed sequences and intriguing plot.
In conclusion, Inside Man: Most Wanted has sparked a divided reaction among viewers, with some hailing it as an under-rated gem, while others have expressed disappointment. As reported by The Express, the film’s mixed reviews have not deterred viewers from watching it, with it climbing its way to the top 10 most popular films on Netflix. Whether or not you agree with the film’s 68% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, one thing is certain – Inside Man: Most Wanted is a film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
