The set up is terrific, I had to see this movie twice in order to figure out who all the players really were. Jodie Foster has an ambivilent role, you never know if she's a good guy or a bad guy. I loved the last twist at the end, and the sub-plot was worth following to its conclusion. A great thriller which also has a good time with irony and humor! Recommend it highly for a date movie at home!! Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Clive Owen Rocks! Denzel Washington is just so-so, his role as detective is plain, and failed to convince. He's like a rap-singer, keep nabbing but that's it...

It's fun to watch and keep guessing what's next, until the end. The plot is not flawless, but very interesting. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I really enjoyed this movie! The plot was interesting throughout the entire movie and the ending wasn't obvious. Staring at Denzel for 90 minutes isn't a bad way to spend an evening either... ;) WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

The dialogs are lame (perhaps a reflection of our lack of emphasis on education in the US). Older movies have such powerful dialogs that ma\ke you say "Wow ! I must use that sometime !".
If you want a smart action movie try some of the older Steve McQueen movies. If you want action + comedy ... try Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels ... only the British know how to do that stuff really well.
One star for Inside Man. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This is a movie that you go into not expecting much - other than stand-offs and shooting. However, it surprises you by actually having a "plot", so to speak. And the ending, well, that totally makes the whole movie. If you're watching it, and thinking it's not to your liking, just wait. The last 10-15 minutes are the best!!!! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I thought the movie was good until the end, which there really isn't one. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't waste the 2 hours. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Despite the expected racial overtones from Spike Lee (I couldn't spot a single non-corrupt white person in the film), it was still somewhat entertaining. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
