Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

Although the film dutifully follows a familiar path to the courtroom, along the way, it serves as a solid demonstration of the fissures that can form when the bonds of friendship are tested against those of familial loyalty.

Strong performances by Wolf, Sasso and Mabius enhance this true story of NBA betting.

Rated: 6/10

Cinemalogue

Sports fans looking for a rooting interest won't find one amid this parade of lowlifes and degenerates, while the embellished screenplay goes out of bounds.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

It's serviceable but generic, going through the motions of a typical crime movie without coming up with much that's distinctive. And the one genuinely novel aspect of the story - a dirty NBA referee - is squandered.

Rated: 2/4

...the events that transpire in Inside Game are better told as a documentary.

"Inside Game" feels awfully small, while immersion into the world of bookies and sports betting is a major "love it or leave it" element of the viewing experience.
