Inside man is by Director Spike Lee, who is usually known for making politically charged movies, this is for sure his most mainstream and commercially accessible film to date. Boasting an impress cast Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Willem Defoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor & Christopher Plummer. It Starts with this character, Dalton Russel (Clive Owen) explaining this perfect bank robbery, he is about to take into action. Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel) is put on the case and what unfolds is many twists and turns as they try to out smart eachother.First off, all performances are excellent. Jodie foster, who plays a sort of CIA agent who is protecting the concerns of bank owner Arthur Case, who has few secrets about that bank and its contents. Clive Owen plays the smart, cool and collected bank robber very well. Much like the character if Hans in Die hard. i loved the idea of using painter outfits and having the hostages where same as the robbers to allow for swaps and changes, which keeps mystery of really who did it undercover. Denzel is also great and is becomming action movie icon. Chiwetel Ejiofor who is brilliant in anything he's in again is great here as Denzels right hand man. My few issues i have with film are : Willem Defoe has so much charisma that in such small part in this film, he seems out of place. The soundtrack (apart from the intro song) is little off too. Scenes of just denzel walking calmly not really much of important scene, are set to fast paced loud tracks that seem out of place. This seems a little too much for the scenes and takes away from what is cut above most action movies, and kind of dumbs it downThat being said, its a tense, interesting movie that fans of action movies and smart movies alike will enjoy. It's no die hard, but its pretty damn good.
