"Inside Man" is a most excellent crime drama. A small group of four individuals stage a daring daytime hold-up of a major New York City bank. And yet...they don't seem to be going after the vault. Just one small safe deposit box...but what does it contain that they want? The police hostage negotiator knows something is wrong...his instincts tell him this is no ordinary crime. And powerful people want this handled quickly...and quietly.
This is a great movie...it keeps you entertained, but it also keeps you guessing the entire time. There are some excellent plot twists thrown in along the way...just when you think you've started figuring something out, you find out that you've been had. The suspense builds, the tension mounts...and when it is all said and done, you can only shake your head and applaud. The actors in this movie give superb performances, selling each individual character's agenda. Everyone in the movie is after something...and surprisingly, almost everyone gets what they want.
For an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a good crime drama, and a great character film, "Inside Man" pulls off the heist.
