Trivia:
Paul's (Lemon Andersen) line calling one of the detectives that were interrogating him a "wassa-wassa" was improvised. So was Detective Frazier's (Denzel Washington) answer: "Do you know how to say Rikers Island in Spanish?" moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the end credits, the word "Mobile" is repeatedly misspelled "Mobil". moreQuotes:
[first lines]Dalton Russell: My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself. I've told you my name: that's the Who.

An unusual turn for director Spike Lee, the conventional heist movie 'Inside Man', starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster & Chiwetel Ojiofor.
Even though the plot has twists, it's still pretty straight forward stuff for the usually controversial filmmaker. What is obvious though, is that good filmmakers turn this material into something more than it might have been by a 'lesser' director.
Solid performances by the cast, even though Jodie Foster is somewhat underused in this, but still, a solid heist movie with an interesting turn of events.
