Willem Dafoe is one of those actors whose career has him all over the place in terms of film roles. From the excellent ‘Platoon’, which is the film that introduced me to him, to ‘Spider-Man’, to the crazy, although much discussed, ‘The Lighthouse’, he has definitely played a wide variety of characters. And I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever seen him give a bad performance.
Well, his latest independent film, ‘Inside’, is another project in which Dafoe gets to showcase his brilliant side. It's definitely strange and unique from a storyline perspective, although, ironically, it's very simple. Dafoe plays Nemo, an art thief who's on a job inside a luxury apartment with a lot of expensive art pieces, when the alarm goes off and he becomes trapped inside. That's the entire basis of the film. I didn't know that this would work but Dafoe is so captivating he makes it work and keeps your attention. Great performance!
