Synopsis

It's a shame this "more mainstream" venture for Spike Lee hasn''t gotten more credit for what it accomplishes. Inside Man is not only an intelligent heist thriller that succeeds as a top-tier popcorn movie, but it also encourages "more mainstream" viewers to consider the filmmaker''s politics, injected in the form of funny, unpretentious scenes that foreground race. Plotwise, Denzel Washington is an NYPD detective attempting to make a name for himself by diffusing a hostage situation and bank robbery masterminded by Clive Owen. Jodie Foster plays a third-party uber-consultant working covertly on behalf of Christopher Plummer, the bank''s president, who--as the oldest white dude in the picture--clearly has some skeletons in his walk-in closet. Featuring Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and engaging cinematography by Spike Lee---USA---2006---129 mins.
