Well done, Spike Lee

Rating: 7/10 (31 December 2007)

I have not always been a great fan of Spike Lee, but with The Inside Man, he has really delivered a very good and authentic film capturing the sound and feel of New York City. The plot is a little confusing at times, and complete concentration is a must, or one can very easily miss a key item. Thanks to Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Cheistopher Plummer (in particular), you are treated to great acting and suspense in a story that develops into some really good character revelations...but, in a film such as this, the real test is of the Director to deliver, and Mr. Lee has come through with flying colors. It moves at an excellent pace so that the excitement and mystery never wanes. Well worth the entrance money!
