Inside Man review by Alex D.
Inside Man.

I thought this movie was pretty clever and entertaining overall. They built up the anticipation for the end a lot, which keeps you interested, but I was somewhat disappointed in the end, as I thought it was going to be something more extravagant the robbers were going after, but it was still a solid ending that makes you think. The robbers in the movie really executed everything perfectly. Good acting probably made this better than what it should have been, but I can't complain. A decent caper movie anyone can enjoy.

Inside Man review by Kurtz
New slant to an old favourite
(3) of (4) members found this review helpful.
"Inside Man" clearly wants to be more than a standard bank heist movie, taking time to show shadowy forces manipulating events surrounding a daring bank raid by Clive Owen and his ruthless band of robbers, and the excellent Denzel Washington's attempts to prevent a bullet-fest as the beleagured hostage negotiator.These background scenes can drag, though; they give the movie a bloated two hours plus running time and distract from the compelling clash between the two principals. It's worth a watch just to see who comes out on top, but having opened up several cans of political and social worms, director Spike Lee seems unable to wrap things up satisfactorily.

Inside Man review by Laney
Quite Good!

I thought that overall, this was a good film. Denzel was great as always which made it a better film than it probably would have been otherwise. A clever plot, but not quite as clever as it was hyped up to be! it did keep you guessing till the end, but there were parts of the plot that were important but never explained, which I found frustrating! but apart from that, the film moved quickly and kept me interested all the way through.
Definately worth watching.

Inside Man review by GitTom
Clever story, thought out a bit too clever

Once again a great performance from Denzel Washington as a New York Detective. He is up against the perfect bank robbery. However, once the movie is over and you think it through, the plan is not so perfect after all - in real life the bank robber would have easily been caught. I'll leave it up to you to come up with various possibilities. And the connection between the bank robber and the bank owner, alltough crucial to the motivation of the robbery, is never revealed. I'll give it 4 stars anyway because of the funny and witty Denzel Washington and some good action scenes.

Denzil Washington never puts in a bad performance and this film did not disapoint
