Inside Man
Review by MNF Model Kelli
Inside Man is not your ordinary cops and robbers movie. While the setting takes place for the most part in one place, the story unfolds piece by piece with an array of great characters and scenes. Denzel Washington plays a smart detective who matches wits with Clive Owen. Owen's character is the thief with a twist. He is very well educated and has a motive and a plan for every move he makes, while at the same time having the audience almost on his side. He is very charming and clever, not the average "bad guy" and he has a reason for this heist which makes for an even better ending. Jody Foster plays a power broker who seems both sincere and persuasive in her words. Let's just say she does a great job at pretending. The movie is filled with action and at times comedy. As I looked around the theater, everyone was glued to the screen. The ending is a surprise and wraps the details of the movie together perfectly. Spike Lee has created yet another crowd pleaser with Inside Man. I would recommend anyone to go see this movie. Definitely one of the best I've seen in awhile.
