Review of Inside Man (2006) by Robc. — 29 Feb 2008
'Inside Man' never really tries for greatness, and that's fine by me. An excellent premise (the robbery) is somewhat tempered by so-so dialogue (though there are a few exceptions-I think others have pointed them out).
The witness interviews were drawn out and a bit unnecessary. And of course there was the standard racial commentary one can expect from Spike Lee. But in the end, this movie delivers where it counts: as a suspenseful, tense thriller with an electrifying performance by Clive Owen as the robber.
