- Variety and The New York Times have published new reviews on WWE Studios' Inside Out with Triple H. Here are some highlights:
Variety:
"In its continuing quest to make Paul "Triple H" Levesque a viable movie star, WWE casts the hulking wrestler in yet another ex-con role in "Inside Out," sandwiching him between Michael Rapaport and Parker Posey, arguably two of Hollywood's quirkiest supporting players. But their flakiness effectively plays off the taciturn, muscle-bound Levesque, whose cliched choice to go straight or crooked, juxtaposed with Rapaport's loose-cannon loquaciousness, turns moral questions into an entertaining vaudeville routine. Veering crazily in tone, "Inside Out" might fail to catapult its star into wider acceptability, but should delight fans of lightly absurd actioners upon its limited Sept. 9 release."
The NY Times:
"If Paul Levesque, the professional wrestler better known as Triple H, hopes to follow the career path of, say, Dwayne Johnson, who is now a credible action-adventure leading man, he’s going to need movies a lot better than “Inside Out” to do it. Shooting for stoic, Mr. Levesque only delivers inert. And the plot devolves into a tangle of dithering story lines. The film could really have used some better-focused, more believable scripting. Perhaps for Mr. Levesque’s next project one of the “WWE SmackDown” writers will have some free time."
