The Deception of the Year

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2006)

It is amazing how a cast with names such as Jodie Foster, Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, directed by the great Spike Lee and with a high-budget can ruin due to an awful flawed screenplay. I wasted my money buying this DVD with a great expectation of a terrific movie, but I found it terrible and boring actually. I would like to leave just one question: Why Mr. Arthur Case, magnificently played by Christopher Plummer, kept such evidences that could destroy his successful life for almost sixty years in a safe? The whole story spins around this ridiculous situation. If you want to see a film of heist, prefer to watch again "Dog Day Afternoon" or even "Heist", but do not spend your time or money with "Inside Man". My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Plano Perfeito" ("The Perfect Plan")
