Based off that hype alone i would see it, add to that clive owen and its a wrap

disagree with his stances all you want (i know i ain't jockin a grip of what he has to say), but anybody who says Spike is all controversy and little talent as a filmmaker can't honestly continue thinking that after viewing this film.

i've always regarded him as extreme hit or miss, rarely mediocre. this makes me want to re-review the misses though. maybe it was me who missed something.

Inside Man reviews

Metascore: 75 Metascore out of 100


MPAA RATING: R for language and some violent images

Starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Willem Dafoe, Christopher Plummer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor

Acclaimed actors Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster come together to explore the lure of power, the ugliness of greed and the mystery of a perfect robbery in this combustible new crime drama. The powerhouse actors play tough New Yorkers who must outwit one another to protect competing interests in this skillfully penned and tightly helmed thriller. (Universal Studios)

What The Critics Said


91
Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The jazzish score, by Lee's music man, Terence Blanchard, is typically intrusive. But the mood is right, the twists are new. And with one casting inspiration, Inside Man furthers the rising stardom of Chiwetel Ejiofor (Serenity).

Inside Man may be a cat-and-mouse game, but it's far from predictable. What could have been a straightforward thriller is unusually clever, visually captivating and unfailingly entertaining.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
With juicy supporting roles for Chiwetel Ejiofor and Willem Dafoe as Washington's fellow officers, the film works best when the characters are just sitting back and shooting the breeze, which is what they're doing much of the time. Here, puzzling out a robbery is more fun than stopping it.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Smartly plotted by newcomer Russell Gewirtz and smoothly directed by, of all people, Spike Lee, Inside Man is a deft and satisfying entertainment, an elegant, expertly acted puzzler that is just off-base and out-of-the-ordinary enough to keep us consistently involved.

In Sidney Lumet's "Dog Day Afternoon," which only looks better with the years, New York was as much a character in that film as its people. It was a movie that took its cue from the energy of the city. The Inside Man takes its cue mostly from other movies.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The best scene in Inside Man is one of the simplest, a cat-and-mouser, wherein the hostage negotiator played by Washington pays a visit to Foster's wily manipulator. These two play it so cool, yet so clearly enjoy each other's onscreen company, it's a ticklish reminder of the simple pleasures of screen acting.

YOOOOOOO Spike is BACK! I went into this flick hoping that he got his stuff together and dropped a banger I was right. From the begining of the flick there is little time to relax. They pretty much got right to it. You should know the plot by now of the Perfect Bank Robbery. The cops have no control over this criminal and Denzel is the hero cop who does it his way to save the day. The twist in this movie is displayed early enough that your not guessing too much throught the film. Ultimately I was left wowed by little Spike fingerprints left on the movie. A lil message here, a lil camera shot there. Those little things let you know this is in fact a Spike Lee Joint. The acting of the villian was on point. You never got tired of the guy. Denzel did an excellent job. He was a smooth ass negotiator. This was a great script. The plot kept you engaged and the ending was not the usual Spike mess. I give this film an A.







***********SPOILERS******************SPOILERS*******************

The dolly shot of Denzel is KILLER!!! the whole crowd went crazy for it. The lil jabs at 50 cent were placed in a subtle but ....man I guess it was beat you over your head but the crowd felt it and so did I. Spike definetly got to put his lil jewels in there. And I still say Fuck da police from watching this joint. I don't know how we live with folks like that man. I feel sorry for those good cops out there because there are tons who make it seem like yall don't exist. Yall didn't really exist in this film outside of Denzel and his partner...with his lude eyes ha!

Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Mad grandma mixes up 'Diary'

Release Date: 2005

Ebert Rating: *

BY ROGER EBERT / Feb 25, 2005

"Diary of a Mad Black Woman" begins as the drama of a wife of 18 years, dumped by her cruel husband and forced to begin a new life. Then this touching story is invaded by the Grandma from Hell, who takes a chainsaw to the plot, the mood, everything. A real chainsaw, not a metaphorical one. The Grandma is not merely wrong for the movie, but fatal to it -- a writing and casting disaster. And since the screenplay is by the man who plays Grandma in drag, all blame returns to Tyler Perry. What was he thinking?

There's a good movie buried beneath the bad one. Kimberly Elise stars as Helen, wife of Atlanta's attorney of the year. She lives with her husband Charles (Steve Harris) in a house big enough to be the suburban headquarters of an insurance company. Their marriage seems ideal, but he cheats on her, and assaults her with verbal brutality. When Helen comes home the next day, her clothes are being loaded into a U-Haul. That's how she finds out Charles is dumping her and moving in his mistress, Brenda (Lisa Marcos). Oh, and he has two children by Brenda.

Luckily for Helen, the U-Haul is driven by Orlando (Shemar Moore, from "The Young and the Restless"), who is handsome and kind and everything Charles is not. Helen weepingly flees to the house of her grandmother, and that's when everything goes spectacularly wrong.

Grandma Madea, who is built along the lines of a linebacker, is a tall, lantern-jawed, smooth-skinned, balloon-breasted gargoyle with a bad wig, who likes to wave a loaded gun and shoot test rounds into the ceiling. This person is not remotely plausible; her dialogue is so offensively vulgar that it's impossible to believe that the intelligent, sweet, soft-spoken Helen doesn't seem to notice. Madea at one point invades Charles' mansion, tells his mistress she is a ho (which is correct) and destroys all the furniture in his living room with a chainsaw she is able to find and employ within seconds. What's with this bizarre grandmother? She's like Moms Mabley at a church social. Did nobody realize that Grandma Madea comes from Planet X, would seem loud at the Johnson Family Picnic, is playing by different rules than anyone else in the cast, and fatally sabotages Kimberly Elise's valiant attempt to create a character we can care about?

The director is Darren Grant. Did he approve as Grandma took a chainsaw to his movie? Did he see Kimberley Elise in "Beloved" and "Woman, Thou Art Loosed" and realize what she was capable of in a Grandma-free movie? I can imagine this movie working perfectly well with Grandma played as a sympathetic human being, perhaps by Irma P. Hall.

For that matter, Helen has a mother as well as a grandmother, and her mother, Myrtle, is played with taste and sympathy by Cecily Tyson. It is impossible that Grandma the harridan could have been produced by the same family that gave life to such gentle and civilized women as Myrtle and Helen.

Without the interruptions by Grandma Madea, the movie would be about Helen as a shattered woman who (1) tells the judge Charles can keep all his assets, because she doesn't want a penny; (2) goes to work as a waitress; and (3) is courted by the handsome Orlando, who is kind, understanding, sincere and knows how to listen to women. (1) is impossible, because no judge is going to let a wife abandoned by an adulterer after 18 years walk away without a penny, but never mind. Does Helen find happiness with Orlando?

Not so fast. The movie has a Christian agenda, which is fine with me, if only it had been applied in a believable way. After melodramatic events occur in the life of the evil Charles, Helen gets the opportunity to practice the virtues of forgiveness and redemption, at the apparent cost of her own happiness. We hate Charles so much that it's impossible to feel sorry for him, or believe in his miraculous recovery in body or reformation of character. It just doesn't play -- especially while Helen keeps poor Orlando in the dark about her true feelings, for no better reason than to generate phony romantic suspense.

At the end of the film, Orlando makes a comeback that demonstrates he has carefully studied "An Officer and a Gentleman", but before then we have had one emotionally implausible scene after another involving Charles and Helen, interrupted by periodic raids by the Grandma Madea action figure, who brings the movie to a halt every time she appears. She seems like an invasion from another movie. A very bad another movie. I've been reviewing movies for a long time, and I can't think of one that more dramatically shoots itself in the foot.

Lions Gate presents a film directed by Darren Grant. Written by Tyler Perry, based on his play. Running time: 116 minutes. Rated PG-13 (for drug content, thematic elements, crude sexual references and some violence).

His written reviews of Spike's films are always really well-researched.

He even loved "She Hate Me," remember that flop?

Meh.

It was aight.

it wasn't anything special by any means
it was an alright movie but no crazy twist like i was expecting
nothing really seemed to happen the whole movie
it was just a well written scipt, some good acting, and quality directing
but nothing really interesting happened

It definately lived up to the hype.

i'll keep this spoiler free, but the heist plan was really brilliant.

it's a real smart movie, and definately earned points for the heist plan. when you go over everything they did, you appreciate it more.

denzel and clive gave great performances and spike did a slick job directing.

And oh man, the game on the kid's PSP was HILARIOUS! "Kill dat nigga!" LOL.

I can go into details later, but man. If Spike has to do a "one for them" film every couple of years, I would not be mad at that. This was as good a film as "them" has done in a long time.

Plus, I can't believe it's a "them" movie. This movie has Spike's signature all over it.

Look for the Bamboozled reference.

My girlfriend liked it too. So take your significant other and go support your boy Spike. Damn good work.

no dice on the sig.

i loved it.

let me say, my local theatre on a friday night opening film is notorious for being overrun with loud idiot teenagers (i guess perhaps everyone's is though). this theater was PACKED with them, and it's the first time i've seen this crowd dead, pindrop silent. these kids were paying attention.

and no, it's not just Spike doing a mainstream thriller. well it is that, sort of, but there's plenty of racial politics at play. it works on a couple different levels, he pulls that off.

dope dope flick.

peace.

No way. It was still a most def Spike Lee Joint. His styles and presence is all over the flick. The dolly shot, Terrence, the kiss my black ass asides throughout, Jodys' name, the talk between the flatfoot and Denzel. Its just that he went high rent and they finally gave Spike a damn decent blockbuster budget to work with.

Ah yes. Asked him to tone down the "color" commentary. That was a great exchange, especially the way it ended & revealed the bug. It was cool 2 see Victor Colicchio in a nice sized role like that. Dude is always poppin up in random stuff like this but always does great work. Especially in The Deli

and i imagine it'll remain at least top-five come 2007.

i was fearing this wasn't going to be a Spike Lee joint. it definitely is. it doesn't primarily serve as a vehicle for Spike's politics (which are certainly there), but fingerprints of his stylistic touches are visible, all the while remaining respectful of and loyal to the genre. but he ain't paying Tarantino type homage to heist films with empty pastiche (which i can also enjoy on a pure cinematic level). aside from a few references to classics like Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico, this is a film that faces forward, not backward.

was this shot on DV? it seems so. Spike is getting slick with it. much improvement over his previous uses of the medium.

I think I might still like Wally Pfister & Rodrigo Prieto a lil mo tho

knowin Spike was there directing them two. Damn what a moment

really good film...

my only complaints, the scenes with Denzel's character and his woman (coulda done with out), especially the ending (the 50s detective-noir ending with a Spike touch)... And it was somewhat simple to figure most of what was gonna happen, before the ending. And the music score, ala He Got Game, was too dramatic... even when the scene did not call for it. And not feelin the opening and closing arabic song.

just minor gripes

@@@@/@@@@@

People are callin this the best recent heist film.... shit, go check out Johnnie To's "Breaking News". Just hit video stores (blockbuster,netflix)... excellent heist film and somewhat similar to "Inside Man". And also has one of the greatest opening 15 minutes ever, for a film!!!

the detective movie ending didn't bother me too much, but i admit i was too busy concentrating on the 'twist' ending to really think about/notice how Spike was presenting it.

Your spoiler is reaching at best. Honestly, some of you are really reaching with trying to find stuff that Spike 'referenced'or little easter eggs. I mean sometimes a coincidence is a coincidence, even with a meticulous director like Spike Lee. And really, your spoiler doesn't give anything away about the movie.

Not to mention, New York wasn't much of a character in this movie. It all took place in the bank or in the police van. Do The Right Thing = NY as a character, Inside Man = Not so much.

I disagree. After living in NYC for a decade I can say that there were plenty of things in the film specific to NYC.

<--- Blame this lady for Nutty.

for so many reasons in stating that NYC is also a character.

ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about NYC knows that this film
could not have been based ANYWHERE else in the world.

The most OBVIOUS is the history that the movie references itself.

- The powerful "Jewish Mafia Immigrants" in NYC.

- The general diversity of this city, where you can find anyone on the street that speaks Albanian! lol.

- 9/11

I wasn't really interested in seeing it, concept seems kinda redundant post-9/11. And it didn't seem like a Spike Lee type of film to me. But I am excited if everyone else is!

First off, Ebert gives away a major piece of the film in the first paragraph of his review: "if a man was old enough in the early 1940s to play an important wartime role, how old would he be now? Ninety-five? He might still be chairman of the bank he founded, but would he look like Christopher Plummer?" Well, if he was in his 20's he'd be in his 80's. Plummer is right around that age.

In the second paragraph Ebert then ruins a second part of the film: " Frazier realizes the guys inside don't want their demands to be met; they're stalling. But why?" So in two paragraphs he basically ruins the movie for everyone watching it. Nice job Roger. This being said he then allows his viewers to fall into the trap by his own idiocy: "What we wonder is where he studied the craft of bank robbery... They also throw around completely unnecessary smoke bombs, and the smoke drifts out to the street, alerting a beat cop that something is wrong. Did they want to be trapped inside the bank?" Um, did you watch the same movie I did Roger? Did you not figure that part out?

"I'm not going to go into any detail about how the crisis plays out." Wow. Thanks. Since you are a reviewer and not a spoiler I would assume that would be YOUR JOB NOT TO RUIN MOVIES!

"I guess Madeline White is supposed to be the Jean-Jacques of New York, but although she purses her lips, frowns, and won't take any nonsense, she's basically a red herring."
DUDE YOU ARE GIVING AWAY THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE! The paragraph before this is Ebert name dropping someone who we should be impressed he knew.

"The screenplay by Russell Gewirtz needs a few more runs through rewrite." This is the most audacious of his claims. Did he read the original screenplay? Because I'm willing to bet good money that it's not what made the screen. I would be willing to bet the cop was white in the original screenplay. Ebert should know that what you see on the screen and what was on the page are always very different. This is embarrassing for him to write.

Ebert basically gave away the entire film instead of really reviewing. He also gives away that Clive Owen survives, saying that he opens the movie talking in the past tense. He says he PLANNED the perfect heist. He never said he pulled it off. The little respect I had for Ebert is now officially dead.

NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

An insanely fun movie that manages to be pretty thought-provoking too. Clive Owen is one of the most exciting actors working today. Somebody needs to put him and Denzel in another movie together fast.

PS: If this movie is as big as it should be, I could definitley see another film with the Denzel character.

no tits

this is the guy who gave The Devil's Rejects 3 stars

you know what separates the two films beside an ocean of filmmaking talent?

tits.

the eb won't deal w/ mere cleavage. no, the eb wants titties
make 'em black tits and ebert will give you three thumbs up.

A lot of you players ain't okay.

We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board

is the title of the film.

"Inside Man".

generally, you would that means during the heist, they had someone on the inside workin with them.

but using "Inside Man" to represent Clive Owen remaining inside the bank was a very clever play on words.
