Paul “Triple H” Levesque again plays an ex-convict struggling to go straight in his second World Wrestling Entertainment production this year, which, unlike its predecessor, “The Chaperone,” was apparently not intended to be a comedy. Arguably, though, it’s even funnier.
Within hours of leaving prison following a 13-year stretch, Levesque watches as his jittery idiot of a best friend (Michael Rapaport) accidentally fatally shoots a government informant in a cigarette-smuggling racket masterminded by Rapaport’s father, local mob boss/physician Bruce Dern.
“Inside Out,” filmed and set in Louisiana, is a nonsensical, thickly plotted gumbo involving some cheesy-looking explosions, a state tax agent (Julie White) and Rapaport’s wife, who used to be Levesque’s girlfriend. The latter is played by Parker Posey, who looks baffled throughout. As well she should.
