One of Spike's Best

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2007)

I think Inside Man is an excellent film for Spike's Resume. This film showed a different visual style than what Spike has done in the past, it felt big, it felt warm and it really sucks you into the story. Lately some of Spike's stuff has been hit and miss, but this was excellent one many levels. Keep'em coming Spike.
The film details everything from the perfectly planned Bank Robbery going wrong, to the ongoing racial tensions still alive and kicking in America. I think Clive Owen did an excellent job portraying the mastermind, and Christopher Plummer was an asset as the owner of the bank... of course we all know why we watched this movie, DENZEL. Even though Denzel is a great actor this isn't his finest performance. It is very good, but not excellent, hence the one star loss.
