Thought I'd write a little review of the film.

Directed by: Spike Lee
Written by: Russell Gewirtz
Cast: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Plummer, Peter Gerety, Peter Frechette, Jason Manuel Olazabal, Darryl 'Chill" Mitchell, Ashlie Atkinson
Studio: Universal
Genre: Crime
Official Site: www.theinsideman.net

THE PLOT )

From the moment it started I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy this film. It opens with Clive Owen explaining some things about the robbery, the how, what, where and when basically. I had originally thought that the film would be about the investigation after the robbery, but was pleased to discover that it was more about the robbery itself and the aftermath of what had happened. It was a very enjoyable film, with brains, which I feel is a very long time since I've seen in this type of film. The audience is served clues as we go along and I think that was done in a very good way. If I have a complaint about the film it is that it ends kind of suddenly. I'm not saying that something was missing, but I felt the need for there to be one or two more small scenes to wrap the whole thing up. That being said it is definetly a movie worth watching.
The performances were good, but how could thay fail with actors like that. I've been seing more of Ejiofor lately and I really think he's on his way up the ladder. I just hope Hollywood will be able to see this. 
There's not really much else I can say; it's a good movie with good actors, and it should be watched.

I'm going to the cinema with Dawid tomorrow, and can't decide between 'The Inside Man' and 'V for Vendetta'. I've seen 'V for Vendetta', but thought it needed a second viewing for me to make my mind up. I also want to see 'The Inside man'. The ticket prices here are really cheap, so seing 'V for Vendetta' again wouldn't really cost me that much, and I could catch 'The Inside Man' at home for full price.
I dunno... anyone seen both and wanna give me a tip?
