Inside man - film review

Inside man is a good film. Possibly the most mainstream film that I have seen by Spike Lee. It stars Denzel Washington as a disgraced (original) police detective who lands a big case which might give him an opportunity to prove himself and redeem his reputation.

A group of bank robbers pull a highly organised heist taking 50 hostages. The owner of the bank seems to be very personally involved. The bank robbers seem to be more intelligent than everyone else.

The premise is not original and a lot of the characters are thinly sketched. However this is a strong plot-driven thriller that will make you think. It has some good actors and some interesting ideas. I liked it.
