Dir. Spike Lee USA 129 min R
2006 Universal
One of Spike Lee’s biggest budgets and box offices, Inside Man is a fun and satisfying heist thriller that’s both decidedly within the genre, while exploring ideas that are 100% Lee. Enthralling, tense, and electric this masterful crime caper has a killer cast and enough plot twists to keep you guessing throughout.
A tough detective (Denzel Washington) matches wits with a cunning bank robber (Clive Owen), as a tense hostage crisis is unfolding. Into the volatile situation comes a woman named Madeleine (Jodie Foster), a mysterious power broker who has a hidden agenda and threatens to push a tense situation past the breaking point.
Reviews
"As unexpected as some of its plot twists is the fact that this unapologetic genre movie was directed by Spike Lee, who has never sold himself as Mr. Entertainment. But here it is, a Spike Lee joint that's downright fun." –Newsweek
