A fabulous way to spend 2 hours!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2006)

Inside Man, starring Denzel Washington and directed by Spike Lee is a taut suspense movie in the best way. The plot always moves forward, and while I spent much of the movie wondering how it was going to end, I never imagined the way it actually did end. To reveal more would be wrong--this is a movie to been, not told about.
Spike Lee, in my opinion, makes a departure from his obvious, more political work. I expected good direction and got it, great performances (ditto), but the nature of the film and it's attraction to the director were a mystery until I saw it. There are little "Spike-isms" in the dialog that are appropriate and apropos. Jodie Foster has to be seen to be believed and Denzel Washington as always is fantastic.
This is a good movie. Go see it and enjoy.
