An excellent heist movie with many great thrills

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2008)

Inside Man in my opinion nearly touches the greatness of other brilliant crime/heist movies like Heat. It delivers great dialogue a neat story and thrills to keep you guessing right to the closing credits. Not to forget an excessively good cast like Denzel Washington, Christopher Plummer, Willem Defoe, Cive Owen and Jodie Foster that also add that extra touch of brilliance to a well crafted and balanced film. Inside Man excels on all levels and beyond that most films wouldn't go near. The acting is stunning and will definitely leave you feeling like you have watched Academy Award performances from all. The story is edgy, gritty and epic. And the directing is of such high calibre that Michael Mann may even struggle to top.
