Inside Man

**
Director: Spike Lee
Cast: Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Plummer
A detective in charge of a Dog Day Afternoon-style hostage drama begins to smell a rat when the bank robbers only seem to be buying time. In order to appreciate this slick movie, you should forget it immediately. The initial response is that it's a heist drama with a great set-up but a disappointing pay-off. However, the more you think about it the more you realise that the plot or the characters don't make any sense.
