Intelligent heist film

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2018)

Spike Lee's Inside Man starring Denzel Washington has been heavily praised since its release in 2006, both as a bank heist film and an overall crime drama.
This film is quite unique and different than the typical heist film in a sense where the drama had a slow build but a worthy of suspense and thrills. The acting is top notch from both Washington and Clive Owen. Jodie Foster was seemingly thrown in and was about the worst part of this great film.
Otherwise, Inside Man delivers what was expected as an entertaining crime mystery heist film. Even with a run time of over two hours, the film moves at a solid pace where time seems to go quickly (meaning it's a good thing). Highly recommend for fans of Spike Lee, or Denzel or fans of well made heist films.
