Thoroughly impressed, best movie so far this year

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2006)

Went out to a late show last night, unimpressed at the thought of being out until one in the morning, and so went into the movie with a pessimistic, "this had better be worth it" attitude. It was.
A good *intelligent* movie, that kept you guessing and kept you riveted to the story. The movie keeps you wondering (something Hollywood seems to have forgotten makes a movie enjoyable) what's really going on. I fully expected a typical hostage/bank robbery, yadda yadda, and Inside Man is far more than that.
It's been a long time since there's been a truly enjoyable clever movie. This is one. Both Clive Owen and Denzel Washington give great performances. I'm not going to say anything about the story itself, go see it. It's definitely worth it.
