Too much humor...

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2006)

This movie had a great story and great actors, but I'm somewhat disappointed with the directing.
Inside Man is a great thriller with lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and the ending is great but I feel that the constant wise cracks and jokes were a bit out of place. Don't get me wrong the jokes were funny and most of them made me laugh but in the end it made this film way less immersive. It felt like Spike Lee was behind that camera constantly wise-cracking, you know kinda like that guy at a party that always wants to be the "funny guy" and then everyone gets sick of him and wants him to shut up :P (well not that bad hehe). It just felt like the director took this movie really lightly when he made it.
It still was a good movie and most people will like the fact thats it's full of jokes, I'm probably just too picky.
