INSIDE MAN (Theatrical Release USA 2006)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Inside Man has a great script, very good acting, and a good, fresh concept; but the film has been dramatized to the point of a slowly moving turtle. Watch for Christopher Plummer, Jodie Foster, and Willem Defoe supporting cast for Clive Owen. Denzel Washington does a particularly good job of interpreting his character, Detective Keith Frazier.
