Excellent Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2009)

Inside Man, at first seems to be another run of the mill movie, which tries to bank upon good cast and one of evergreen plot in the industry, a plan for perfect bank robbery.
It has everything that bank robbery movie need, the cast, the gang, the weapons, the hostages and definitely the plan, but it's the last one which makes all the difference.
Clive Owen plays the robber, who sets the tone of the movie upfront with the stunning starting scene. Denzel Washington plays the cop who is looking for one case to prove himself; Jodie Foster is the power broker.
The script is very well executed with almost no flaws in it, it's the plan of the robbery and the treatment given to it by the director makes the movie must watch for everyone. Movie has an instances on the problems faced by minority group in US especially post 9-11, it also uses the novel method of story telling wherein it jumps to the near future to link the story i.e the interrogations sequences of the suspects shown during the hostage drama.
Spike Lee pulls out an absolute thriller in this motion picture. The movie will surely go down as one of the best movie Hollywood has produced.
