Clive Owen gives a solid performance as Dalton Russell. Denzel Washington is good as always as Det.
There's some humorous and some awesome lines that come out of the character's mouths. My only problem was that after the bank robbery was over, the film continued for another half hour, and it started to drag a bit. There are some things you have to figure out throughout the film, which makes it more interesting. It is choppy, but not so choppy that it's annoying (cough, Domino, cough, Man on Fire), so you get a sense of tension, and it seems very high paced. What I liked about Inside Man was the style it was made. This is the only Spike Lee movie I've ever seen, but trust me, I'll see more, since this was a very intriguing film. When the shady CEO of the bank and a woman he's hired to help him protect certain interests arrive, he begins to discover that there's more to this bank robbery than it would seem. Now he's dealing with disgraced hostage negotiator Keith Frazier, who is attempting to get to the bottom of things. Inside Man tells the story of a man named Dalton Russel, who leads a daring bank robbery that turns into a hostage situation.
