Blu B A Classic Heist Thriller. Really well made all around. In a sense it's a no frills bank heist movie mixed with a little bit of a twist. Washington is the best thing here with a stellar cast. I do wish it had a bit more color to it as things can look grey and dull lots of times. But the direction is really good. I would'nt know this is Spike Lee though watching it which is crazy. My issues really are minor. The whole subplot with Plummer/Foster feels like it's seperate from the core Washington vs the robbers. We jump around a lot with Foster, Washington, and the robbers and interviewing the hostages in the first half and it can be a bit distracting. The best moments are when it's just the old fashioned good vs bad guys wondering how they'll get out of this. In the second half when it starts just focusing on that it becomes phenominal and you wonder what well happen next with a quite a few suprisies along the way. The twist is good but it's a little bit of a plot convience at the end and honestly I still don't really know how Plummers/Foster ties into the core plot. It feels like if you just would've kept the robbers and Washington trying to outsmart each other the whole time it would've worked just as well if not better because we would've had less jumping in the first half. Also, because of that it feels like the ending drags a bit also for 5-20 minutes a bit too long trying to tie up all loose ends. Kind of reminds me simliar to how I feel about Return of the King. But even still it's really well done, keeps you suspensed, and has a great twist. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, Spike Lee, thrillers, or heist flicks should check this out.

Rated R for Some Violent Images and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Meta M Inside man is an excellent heist film with a lucrative script pun intended. A fantastic cast of actors across the broad each adding their charm and uniqueness to the proceedings. A memorable score along with the most authentic set piece. The bank actually looks and feels like a New York bank. It’s also really funny in moments “did I violate section Double D?” Spike Lee infuses the script with clever meta troupes. Inside man is high value entertainment that is so rewatchable and with an ending that leaves you wanting more. Underrated but highly recommended.
