May 31, 2009One of the most brilliant heist movies of recent years about a bank robbery where things are never like they seem to be. A great cast delivers excellent performances and dialogues, even though Jodie Fosters character could easily have been left out it's still a nice addition to C...( read more)

January 19, 2009I'm normally mixed about watching Spike Lee films. I often very happily go in to see them (well, I can't say I've ever seen one in a theatre, so "going in" is technically not accurate, but you get the idea), but am wary of Spike's attitude, of which I am not a fan. I've ranted nu...( read more)

November 2, 2009I've seen allot of heist films that try to give you a mind blowing twist and sufficient action to sustain you all the way through the illogical plot and the boring story. Inside Man side steps that and gives you a fresh, original and exceedingly smart cat and mouse game t...( read more)

October 22, 2009One of the better bank heist movies ever made. Owen's character was incredible. The movie told yopu the whole time there would be a big twist at the end, but never went far enough to give it away. Sequel is supposedly coming out in 2010, last "job" sequel i seen was Oceans 12, an...( read more)

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Exceptionally well written with clever twists and witty dialogue by first-time screenwriter Russell Gewirtz, Inside Man is adroitly executed by director Spike Lee. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Inside Man may be a genre flick, but its direction is certifiably Lee -- sprinkled with trademark themes and visual cues, including his specialty, the strapped-to-a-factory-belt dolly shot. full review
March 23, 2006
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
With Inside Man -- an ostensibly straightforward, old-fashioned heist movie -- Spike Lee brings together the old New York and the new. full review
March 23, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Inside Man marries some ingenious caper ideas to Lee's superb feel for ethnic politics. full review
March 23, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a thriller that's curiously reluctant to get to the payoff, and when it does, we see why: We can't accept the motive and method of the bank robbery, we can't believe in one character and can't... full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
The normally subversive Spike Lee takes a rare genial tack. full review
March 21, 2006
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Washington has the kind of star quality other actors would die for: unfakeable cool. full review
March 20, 2006
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
The more it sags as a thriller, the more it jabs and jangles as a study of racial abrasion. full review

April 17, 2007I agree, im surprised no one has made a skin for this yet. Great movie, watched it twice now. Its one of those films that you can like every time you watch it and never get bored of it.

January 12, 2007Its a very gr8 movie. Full of suspense frm the start till end. Jodi Foster is given a limited and suckin role. She shuld not signed tht movie.
Owen was gr8 in it. Worked very hard.
Give 5 to it man... -

November 29, 2006i think someone should make a skin for this movie. its way cool! one of my favorites ever

August 14, 2006Spike Lee, Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, ahhhhhhhh let me take a breath this is a bomb. Dont doubt to watch it is obvious that it cant be bad and it worth it.
I hope Johnny Depp watch this movie or just the the first minute and 45 seconds, so he can learn what is a great prelude or prologue, just watch the incredible art development as a performer of Clive Owen and the great character not so well cook by Mr. Depp in the first minutes of The Libertine. -
