Inside Man (2006)
6/10
A journeyman's film
24 August 2021
Clive Owen is a very good actor, Denzel Washington has all of the right star material and they do not a bad job in this movie made back in 2006. It's about a bank robbery in New York where nothing is robbed and no one is shot.

Yeah I'm serious ..

No one is shot in a New York cop movie.... say it ain't so😃

You'll get it when you watch the picture

I'm always mystified when they bring in a "fixer" in these sort of heist- come political intrigue thrillers ... Are there really people like that out there?

What's 'er face Foster does a good job as the fixer and to tell the truth, from my dealings with the New York, Political and Justice system, she's probably drawn from a real life character .....so there must be fixers in the system.

She doesn't have to do much though, either acting or in her role but she's pretty convincing with her business suits and elegant style.

It's a movie that you have to concentrate on or you'll lose the plot because it's one of those flashback set ups where you jump from one scene to another.

A pretty dreary performance from Christopher Plummer but let's not speak ill of those who have passed away.

It has a few clichéd moments in the script to keep it politically correct and it has an unnecessary side story involving the voluptuous girlfriend of Washington. But you need these things to keep it real, to raise the money and get people in to see it.

The ending's a bit confusing if you don't keep your wits about you but overall it was a good way to spend 2 hours or so even though it's back from 2006.
