Review of Inside Man (2006) by Danielj. — 12 Apr 2006
This is hack work. I was a fan of Lee's even when the buzz around him died. And I love all the major actors in this movie. But I thought it was one of the clumsiest movies I've seen in a long time.
No energy, momentum, style. The script was anemic and corny. I'm not sure how this film was supposed to translate. As suspense it failed because it telegraphs everything in advance. It has a distracting sublot with a nazi sympathizer that is based on an ubelievable premise.
It also has too many A-list actors like Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer doing small parts that are little to work with and that is something I always find distracting. I'm not trying to be a hater, but I really disliked this movie and am taking the time to write this because I disliked it so much.
