Buy This Item Inside Man (Full Screen Edition) (2006) by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $11.99  on 11-27-2008     Academy Award winner Denzel Washington, Academy Award nominee Clive Owen and Academy Award winner Jodie Foster star in this intense and explosive crime thriller. The perfect bank robbery quickly spirals into an unstable and deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a criminal mastermind (Owen), a determined detective (Washington), and a power broker with a hidden agenda (Foster). As the minutes tick by and the situation becomes increasingly tense, one wrong move could mean disaster for any one of them. From acclaimed director Spike Lee comes the edge-of-your-seat, action-packed thriller that The Wall Street Journal calls "a heist film that’s right on the money." Reader Reviews Spike Lee is not intelligent enough as a director to tackle the many disjointed plot lines of this film. In one scene you'll have a cliche filled mess regarding how Muslims are treated by the police. Then in the next, he's trying to create an intellectual battle between Washington and Owen. Believe it or not, despite the fact that there is so much going on, the entire film just feels so, well, boring. Jody Foster is a pointless addition, and after about 35 minutes you're still waiting for something to improve...but....it never does. I'll give it 2 stars simply because I love bank robbery movies, but this one might just be the worst on record. Even Denzel seems to be stumbling through this role, I haven't figured out why he ever agreed to take it on. Stick to mindless UFC and car chases Spikey, because serious directing eludes you.
