Inside Man
It looked like the perfect bank robbery. But you can't judge a crime by its cover.
A tough cop, Detective Frazier (Denzel Washington), matches wits with a clever bank robber, Dalton (Clive Owen), in a tense hostage drama. As the dangerous cat-and-mouse game unfolds, a wild card emerges: Madaline (Jodie Foster), a power broker with a hidden agenda, who injects even more instability into an already volatile situation.

Good movie! - northernwatcher
It should always be expected that a movie with Denzel Washington in it will deliver and this movie was no exception. Fast paced and unpredictable, this movie held the attention. Lots of twists and turns and surprises made this a true action thriller.Good Thriller - bbryon1
The volatile showdown between a determined cop and a perfectionist bank robber is sent spiraling toward disaster when a scheming power broker steps in to take control of the situation in this hair-raising heist flick directed by Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. Owen is a bank robber with a difference. In his quest to execute the perfect heist, Dalton has taken every possible factor into consideration. Dalton's uncanny ability of staying one step ahead of the law thwarts even-tempered Detective Keith Frazier's best efforts. But there's another factor at play. The bank president has requested the services of high-profile negotiator Madeline White. Despite her commendable track record, Madeline is something of a wild card, and before the day is over, this bank robbery will go down in history as one of the most elaborate heists ever executed.Spike Lee elevates the cop drama - HaydenT
Spike Lee elevates the stakes of what in other directors' hands would be a routine hostage drama. The entire cast contribute precise and complex performances. Even the most minor roles are a delight to watch. Owen is a subtle and ultimately sympathetic villian and Washington is as always solid as the flawed cop hero. Plummer and Foster deliver in great 'banality of evil' roles. Lots of action without any real violence. A thinking man's thriller.
