Right up front I should tell you that 'Inside Men' plays with time. It begins in 'the present' then moves back and forth between the now and the past. Things / events we experience in the now get us leaning one way, events in the past get us leaning another. The series-makers' hope must have been that at a certain point between the present and the distant past, all would make sense to the viewer. And it does. But by then - at least in my opinion - the viewer is so tired of leaning that he or she no longer cares. And during the series' fourth and final episode my lack of caring was monumental.
Steven Mackintosh as the 'hero' / 'anti hero' is quite good. His is a face we can care about, root for, have hopes for. Nicola Walker plays John's never-suspecting wife. Ashley Walters and Warren Brown play employees of John's; the three of them possibly involved with a scheme to rob a 'cash depot' (where banks' cash is distributed) of 150 million British Pounds. Or possibly they are not involved. Or maybe just one of them. Or two? The answer to this, the "who' of this mystery, is what keeps the story going.
Until that final fourth episode. Which is really too bad.
