Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2020)

Inside Man is as well directed and orchestrated as the bank robbery that is the plot of the movie. Both thrilling and cerebral, Inside Man will keep you on e the edge of your seat guessing until the very end. The stellar cast rises to the occasion and really drives home this heist film that will go down as a sparkling example of the genre.
A group of armed robbers attempt to rob a New York bank only to have it turn into a hostage situation. Detective Frazier is called in to negotiate, but things are not what they seem. He quickly realizes he is not up against any ordinary criminals. This is exacerbated when a fixer is called in to help diffuse the situation.
One of Spike Lee's most well executed films, Inside Man is a great addition to the heist genre that ranks right up there with Dog Day Afternoon. Denzel Washington gives a fantastic performance which is only elevated by a supporting cast led by Jodi Foster and Clive Owen. All of this equals a must see thriller that you will thoroughly enjoy.
