Inside Man very entertaining but not original

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2006)

I never expected that Inside Man would be a thoroughly entertaining movie but it was. Spike Lee did well to convey a thrilling drama and at the same time inject some comedy in there as well.
The movie tend to sometimes have that kind of friendly, TV movie feel but thanks to Denzel, its worth every cent to watch at the cinema.
Good as it is, i also notice that the plot isn't entirely original. It has some cues of the 1990 movie "Quick Change" which stars Bill Murray and Geena Davis. It has a similar bank heist plan but of course, cannot come close to the kind of wit and humor displayed in Inside Man.
Can we see more of the same from Spike Lee soon?
