This movie is about a bank robbery and what happens within the bank and with the cops outside. Don't go into this movie expecting miracles, its not fantastic. The acting is good, but to be honest it doesn't make much sense really. I wouldn't buy this movie, or watch again, but that is only my opinion.
There's no doubting that Denzel Washington is a cracking actor with a massive screen presence. Director Spike Lee knows this all to well and was wise to cast him as his lead in this involving, yet somewhat disappointing, heist movie. It's a polished film. The acting is immaculate from all involved and the films pace is adequate. This is well worth a watch, though I would advise that you disregard any high expectations you have for this film otherwise your disappointment will only be heightened. The problem with Inside Man is that it feels to audience friendly. It's a walk in the park for the actors and director and really doesn't test the viewer's intelligence as much as it should have. Come the end, there's little in the way of suprise and you'll feel as if you've watched a feel-good heist movie instead of something more raw. Enjoyable yet unsatisfactory.
