we were watching every scene in this entertaining flick

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2006)

I have liked some Spike Lee productions before and Inside Man ranks right up there. From the captivating and gripping introduction to the final Denzel emptying his pockets this movie keeps you guessing the whole way. Lots of good action shots, interesting characters and subplots..the Albanian ex wife of a passerby on the street particularly memorable. The heist was admirably planned and we are shown just enough along the way to respect the planning of the thieves but yet to wonder how it all came off. It really wasn't till after the movie was over..several of us watching the credits and talking about different aspects of the film..little hints that meant nothing at the time...then we got it to all come together. This would be a hards one to figure out ahead of time and no spoiler here...great movie..listen to the words..not too many that are wasted...can't wait to see it again and come at the issues from a different angle..My only complaint of the movie that Jodie Foster a bit underused....but still magnificent,,,,
