Spike Lee's style really doesn't work all that well for a heist movie. Too much is given away too quickly, removing tension from the film because you already have a good idea of what happens before the movie comes even close to finishing. You're pummeled with race relations, rather than a crime thriller. It's still alright though.

Watched this film at the insistence of my "date" who then proceeded to pass out on the couch from a copious amount of weed. Never been a huge fan of Spike Lee. I liked what he has to say, in general, but do not feel that he always puts his point across in the best way possible (save for Do The Right Thing). However, I found this to be a generally engaging film. Clive Owens did a fine job and kept my interest throughout.

The plot of this movie was one of the best I've ever heard of. Everything was thought out perfectly, and the plan was genius. Although the movie was very serious, there were some funny parts to lighten the mood. For example, during an intense scene, an older white man's phone goes off playing "Gold Digger" (a popular rap song) as his ringtone. The idea of the antagonist hiding out behind a wall and escaping later was brilliant. This movie was very enjoyable!

A rather intelligent script but a very questionable directorial work by Spike Lee. Some very obvious bad choices of story telling and camera work, not to mention the irritating use of the dolly technique. The really good part is in the sub-text which touches on the delicate matter of prejudice and power-hierarchy. Not up par with the 25th Hour but watchable on a regular evening which is exactly what I did :)

Gerald Butler shaves his beard and becomes Clive Owen in Jodie Foster's Panic Inside Man on Fire Room, starring (sadly) the more-talk-less-fight Denzel Washington instead of the less-talk-more-fight Denzel. I'm pretty sure I had this idea before Spike Lee, but in my version, everyone was wearing Guy Fawkes masks and talking alliteratively. Successively reminded me that the PSP was shit, even when it was new...and that was only 10 years ago.

A lot of fun and about as mainstream as Spike Lee will probably ever get. A heist thriller with some rough edges and rougher subplots but for the most part the pacing is good, the performances are excellent and a lot of the underlying themes - racial tension, post-9/11 paranoia, greed, moral shades of grey - work well without interfering with the highly entertaining bank job. It isn't trying to be a big 'message movie' but instead succeeds as a suspenseful crime thriller with interesting subtext

There's a saying in Turkish (I've been told) that goes: "I'm pissing on your face and you fool you think it's raining". That's exactly the sort of impression I was left with at the end of this flick. Utter baloney. Empty, none of it works. As far as I'm concerned, Spike Lee was taking the piss - and I for one didn't think it was raining. Bad bad bad.

Quite a well-thought-out bank robbery. It's interesting how the movie doesn't really make you pick a side. You kind of want the bank robbers to succeed, just for the sake of seeing it pulled off, but at the same time you're not totally against the police, because they're mostly ordinary guys just trying to do their jobs. Well-made, and entertaining from start to finish.

Spike Lee's energetic and clever bank-heist thriller touches on questions of race and class without taking away from the tension and fun of the cat-and-mouse games between a hostage negotiator (Denzel Washington), a bank robber (Clive Owen), and a high-powered fixer (Jodie Foster). Inside Man [...] is a smart genre film that is not only rewarding on its own terms, but manages to subvert its pulpy trappings with wit and skill.

I've seen this flick more than once, but cannot remember have I ever seen it from the start. Acting is okay, directing is okay, the script is right. But still something vital is missing: it's not thrilling. It's too clean. And predictable. In the end you do not bother who's on who's side, because the last half an hour does not offer anything surprising.

The worst movie ever made. The previews made it look like an action thriller, but there was very little action. The plot was very boring, the characters were terrible, and there were vomit-endusing attempts at comic relief. The ending is an insult to the thriller genre. There was also loud jazz music that played during some important dialogue for no reason. There is nothing to like about this poor excuse for a movie. Stay FAR away.

Entertaining & fun thriller that has a lot of style & some good performances married with a solid script. There are some plot holes here & it's a tad too predictable, but the story is just strong & fun enough to pull through. However if there was ever a Spike film that didn't require Spike's usual fascination with race issues, this is it. It certainly does not spoil this movie, but so often it seems as if Spike desperate to fight the good fight and force it into his films in a clumsy fashion!

This film is not as clever as it would like you to believe. Clive Owen's plan was pretty obvious to me after about 20 minutes, it was just a matter of why. The "why" is a big letdown, and the initial momentum of the good setup really peters out to nothing in the painful and totally unneccessary last 20 minutes. The overall tone is way too light and breezy to have real tension, and the film has exactly zero likeable characters.

Very interesting effort from Spike as his trademark dialogue heavy, stylized approach to racial politics is subsumed by a mildly intriguing but largely by the numbers Hollywood heist movie. The main players all give good performances and the dialogue crackles, mostly. Entertaining but the real show here is watching Spike adapt to the confines of a hollywood blockbuster.

Inside Man is a solid thriller, but it is carried by it’s incredible cast. Denzel, Foster, Plummer, Owen, Ejiofor, and Dafoe all collectively make this feel really polished and gives it a sort of flare that would otherwise be lacking. This story itself is a little too drawn out for it’s own good, and doesn’t necessarily have that big finale payoff you’d want from a slow burn heist thriller like this. Still, it’s pretty engaging throughout, even if it’s hard to imagine a second viewing.

Another Spike Lee masterpiece. The way it is able to intersect the real links between all the worst leaders in the world, the bankers and nazi Germany and subtle (and no so subtle) race issues in America, while in the recent shadow of 9/11 is remarkable. All under the guise of a tightly directed thriller. I wish Spike made a couple more like this.

It’s smart at times, with some great ideas, but it’s also too long and goes in too many directions. I would’ve liked to explore the angle of interviewing the hostages more, as that was an interesting dynamic that set it aside from other heist thrillers.

Really well made film with some great atmosphere that keeps you guessing about the "exit strategy" right to the end. That said, despite the stellar cast, IM sadly under utilises most of the talent on show and Denzil is fast becoming Morgan Freeman II, where he is actually cast simply so that he can play himself, which is really disappointing. IM relies on keeping you guessing, but the main reason for the heist is obvious, and based on someone keeping something self destructive; a bit daft!

All the ingredients of an all-time film, with some sloppy execution and an inexplicable subplot involving a terrible Jodie Foster that literally could have been completely removed without even the slightest harm to the plot. Would have made the movie a much more fitting hour-forty or so, too. Denzel and Clive are fantastic as usual.

Inside Man somehow got a second viewing out of me. I recall enjoying it first time around, but looking back I'm not too sure why. Washington does enough to carry the film, he has a handful of enjoyable moments but his character is unlikeable. And the cast is strong on paper but nobody lives up to their reputation. Its undoubtedly engaging but it's a slow burner and the finale isn't as spectacular as I remembered. It's evidently a Spike Lee film visually but content wise it's underwhelming.

Pretty standard stuff. Nothing stands out and I just felt indifferent towards the whole thing, there was no connection and it lacks identity. Then we have a bad ending to close things up. What also bothered me is the video game sequence that is there just to make a political statement about violent video games with no nuance at all, he created footage of a violent (ridiculous) non-existent(!!) game, topped it off with racist texts and let a little boy play it, where is the nuance in that?

Rather ridiculous but not awful cops-and-robbers movie that tries hard to set itself up as a slice-of-New-York but suffers from an overwrought score. Has the distinction of being a heist film where the perpetrator, despite being quite rough with the hostages, is not really the bad guy and is thus permitted a successful outcome. Even the cop is allowed a portion of the loot, despite the moral taint associated with its origin. The Foster role is pretty dumb and the clunkiest part of the narrative.

My 1st introduction to Spike Lee. Straight off the bat, I thought the into the camera, voice-over was bullocks. The film settled down after that into some chatty dialogue, cops running pointless plays to open the frame for the leads blocking & Denzel's horny wife slinking around in a black-man-in-mind-designed bedroom. Lee sprinkles in race relation filler wherever he could. ie. The irrelevant turban sequence (both of them). Which distracts from a decent, what's going to happen next, script.

This is one of the best mystery movie of the new millennium. A great cast, a great director, and an example of the "perfect crime." As with all of Spike Lee's movies, this ones main character is really the city of New York and all of the people that are mixed therein. This movie is one of those great movies that camouflage the good guys and the bad guys. One of the most relatable points was the discussion about money and Grand Central Station led to a pretty funny exchange between the cops.

Intensely watchable, thrilling and entertaining delivery by Spike Lee and Denzel raise what could otherwise be a forgettable film to being a great thriller. Ultimately falls a little short in the last half, as it writes itself into corners it can't satisfyingly get out of, nor does it elevate itself beyond the plot points.

Captivating and suspenseful. Great performances by Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. Spike Lee does it good with this one.

Wins points for some nice ideas but ultimately a film that fails to deliver to the cast's potential. Most alarming is the total absence of a motive on the part of the bank-robbers. Why did they do it? On top of this, Plummer never makes a convincing villain and we never see how he tried to make good his past bad deeds, despite many references in the move. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? Try harder Spike! Oh, by the way, the bug should have been in the Albanian's parking ticket ba

By no means bad, but does suffer from a complete lack of tension.

A clever and adrenaline bank heist action flick. The cast all do excellent jobs and the screenplay features some exciting twists and the occasional nod to Dog Day Afternoon. Always entertaining even if it doesn't always work.

This was a pretty good crime thriller. A bit slow at times, but overall it is pretty entertaining. The acting is decent all around and the story is interesting. Well crafted by Lee.

Spike Lee does Crime/Thriller. Loved it. Lots of fun. One of the greatest "aha!" sequences in crime film history.

not even remotely as smart as it claims to be. the script has some good idas and some funny lines here and there, which neither lee nor washington seemed to get.

An indulgent mess in probably 50 different ways: contrived, overreaching, unnecessarily flashy (sometimes it's enough to induce headaches), overly expository, et cetera. But, for whatever its numerous flaws, it's still pretty damn fun, and the clever twists and turns the plot takes, despite the contrivance of it all, keep you on your toes and pay off pretty nicely. It's certainly interesting, if nothing else.

I like that Lee can inject social themes and twists and turns into a "genre film" seamlessly. More mainstream films should be daring like this is.

An intelligent script with just enough humor to keep things fun plus a bunch of excellent actors (among which Denzel holds his own but barely--he's rather outclassed here) makes for an extremely enjoyable bank heist flick. I was flabbergasted to realize Spike Lee directed--the ONLY flick of his I've ever enjoyed. Worth seeing for Jodie Foster's sly insolence alone, and when she says "My bite is much worse than my bark," you believe it. Christopher Plummer is his usual marvelous.

Great bank robbery movie. Hate Jody Foster's character - superfluous, and not her usual hotness.
