Inside Man
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
This cops and robbers movie is all about deceit. It has an all star cast, including Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, and Willhem Dafoe. Foster’s talents are underutilized. Alien could not develop any chemistry with any of the characters to care about them. Director Spike Lee toys with the audience, just as the bank robbers toy with the police. The film feels like it drags on too long and has more fake action than the real stuff. It is more flash than substance. The background music should be relatively unnoticeable and, at times, it didn’t even seem to fit the scenes. In the end, the story was all too simple for all of the hype. Alien was disappointed.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “can’t get no satisfaction” stars out of 4.
