can't miss one single moment

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2006)

I think "Inside man" is a great film. It requires a great deal of attention, because the development of the plot (the spy-pen, the diamond ring...) makes it necessary to "sew" together the different events which are presented one after another without any help from the director (at least in my opinion). From my point of view, this film contains also a clear hint to the war in Iraq. Just after the whole group of hostages rush out of the bank, the police instinctively shoots against the guilty people as well as against the innocents, because they're all the same for them (they are all dressed alike). It is a behavior that has been reported to happen in Iraq. Moreover, there is a moment in that scene where the daddy holds his kid in the same position as the famous photo taken in Iraq, with the hooded prisoner holding his kid on his lap.
