Who is the INSIDE man? A gripping, intelligent film

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2006)

This is a satisfying thriller, which takes the audience along with it. The story begins with Dalton Russel - a brilliant Clive Owen. He is in a cell of sorts, and and as soon as you feel that the narrative is predictable, along comes a twist and a turn.
Denzel Washington as Detective Frazier gives an impeccable performance as a cop with integrity, well supported by Chiwetel Ejiofor as his side-kick, Bill Mitchell. The cast is good - a very svelte Jody Foster as Madeline White, enigmatic, and a good Christopher Plummer, as the bank's owner.
This film is intelligent and thought-provoking and the acting is very realistic. It's a good film, which will keep you thinking for ages.
