It made me feel like a hostage.

Rating: 2/10 (24 March 2006)

This movie is the pits. I should have known better. Denzel Washington hasn't made a good movie in 15 years. Spike Lee hasn't made a good movie...ever. Put those two together and you get a mega-mess of a movie. The camera never stops moving. The music never stops playing. Lee is from New York but you would never know that from watching this movie. All of his "New Yorkers" are corny, stereotypes with unbelievable accents. The plot itself is so contrived and silly that you don't care about any of the characters. Jodie Foster is totally wasted in a rather minor role. Chistopher Plummer is no spring chicken but he is still 15 years too young to be playing his character. Inside Man was a never ending, mind numbing experience. I saw this with three friends and we all hated this bomb. It will have a good opening weekend then quickly fade away as word of mouth spreads. If you want to see a good heist movie, go to the video store and rent one of the many that were made in the '70s.
