Inside Man

Love Spike! Always have and always will. “Do the Right Thing” is one of my all time favorite films and though “Inside Man” is not a classic like DRT, it is a great tribute to films made in and about NYC during the seventies. It has a great primary cast (Denzel, Willem, Clive, Jodie, and Christopher “Edelweiss” Plummer) in addition to an entertaining supporting cast. There is a nice sense of direction and a wonderful quietness between actors despite the film being about a bank robbery. Under a different director they would all be blasting each other instead of listening and responding. Denzel and Jodie have a surprising chemistry that made me want to see more of the two together. Also loved seeing Willem Dafoe as a normal run of the guy… it’s been a while! Spike is an American Master Film Maker and "Inside Man" is a nice addition to his body of work.
Favorite moment: Eating pizza in the vault.
