Inside Man Reviews

Inside job

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.

Twists and turns and keeps you guessing...

My initial scepticism about seeing a Spike Lee film (given his last few efforts have been below par) soon disappeared, in fact, 10 mins into the film i was hooked. I am one of those annoying people who likes to try and guess plots and twists, but it had me guessing pretty much till the end. This is a film about a bank robbery, a conspiracy and a dark secret, and it even has a few laughs in it as well. Denzel is starting to look old, so the hot young girlfriend is a bit of a stretch(!), but he plays a good part. See this film, and tell me if you guessed what was going on...

[Highly rated reviewer]

Very, very good.

Together with Fallen one of the two most ORIGINAL films in which the incredible Mr Washington has starred.

Needs a better rhythm

3 great performances by Owen, Foster and Washington, if you take them seperately.

Something just doesn't sit right though the flow of the film is just that little bit off. Its worth watching however you might be a little disappointed.

Spike gets it right

Saw this film on a whim really and am extremely pleased that I did. I was entertained throughout and spent most the film trying to guess the next move. Washington and Owen are excellent in the quirky kind of roles we've seen them in before; Foster plays a ever-so-slightly unusual character for her and whilst she's good, she didn’t convince me of the pit-bull persona to 100%. Spike Lee throws in just enough of an element of social history & conscience to add an extra dimension to the plot and elevate this above being a just a ‘good’ heist film.

Thoroughly recommend adding this one to your selection, I just can’t get rid of a nagging thought in the back of my head that I’ve seen the twist at the end somewhere before... hmmm.

See it!

Not your ordinary robbery flick. Keeps you entertained and guessing throughout. Well acted, with a surprising ending.

Good film, recommended

This was a great film, it kept you guessing how the plot line was going to develop. With an interesting twist towards the end.

At Last Spike Lee makes a proper film

Yes this is a proper film with a proper cast and a proper entertainment plot, Not the usual Spike Lee hectoring fare but something that is actually entertaining. The story of a perfect bank robbery, with shades of and homage to Sidney Lumet's thrillers. All the cast are good, the story and characters good, music good, all in all a good film. Not an outstanding work of art, but a fine effort none the less.

Bank Robbers with Intelligence!

Great film! Clever storyline, with some nice acting and convincing characters. Kept me enrapped in the plot throughout the film, with good moments of tension, action and dialect. Along similar lines as other films like Usual Suspects. Clive Owen even proves he can act! Denzel Washington as always proves an excellent good cop, only Jodie Foster I wasn't completely sold by.

Fantastic film - loved it!

Good cast. Great thriller/action movie with a twist. If you like Oceans 11 then you willl love this one. Enjoy.
