Amon Warmann (Empire Magazine) and Scott Davis (Hey You Guys) return to Flixwatcher to review Amon’s choice Inside Man.
Inside Man is a 2006 heist thriller from Spike Lee starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, and Christopher Plummer. Inside Man begins with Dalton (Owen) sat in an unidentified cell explaining how he has committed the perfect robbery. Cut to masked robbers calling each other “Steve” taking down a Manhattan bank dressed as decorators. The police and Det. Frazier (Washington) arrive and begin their negotiations.
It quickly becomes apparent that it is the robbers have the upper hand and there are multiple misdirections and false executions. The plot thickens when the bank’s wealthy but dubious founder is involved and seeks the help of “fixer” Madeline (Foster). Inside Man has everything you’d expect from a Spike Lee joint including his trademark dolly shot, Denzel being cool as f**k, and a score that includes “Chaiyya, Chaiyya Bollywood Joint”.
Scores
| Recommendability | Repeat Viewing | Small Screen Score | Engagement | Overall | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amon | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4.50000 |
| Scott | 4.5 | 4 | 3.5 | 5 | 4.25000 |
| Helen | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4.50000 |
| Kobi | 4.75 | 2.5 | 4.5 | 5 | 4.18750 |
| 4.8125 | 3.625 | 4 | 5 | 4.35938 |
Inside Man scores very, very highly on recommendability and it definitely benefits from repeat viewing. Smart and slick, Inside Man scores overall a very respectable and deserved 4.35. If you’ve ever wanted to hear Jodie Forster being called a “magnificent c**t” this film is for you.
