I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2021 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 12: A CRIME THRILLER
Review: A poetic talk by the bank robber, followed by simple yet atmospheric
images of New York and a wonderful opening song, make for a good first
impression. And director Spike Lee managed to maintain that, leaving the
audience with a satisfied feeling at the end. and the plot is not entirely
unoriginal, although it deals with a much used subject in Hollywood: a bank
robbery.
These bank robbers dress all
the hostages in the same clothes they have on: a painter’s overall with hood
and a white cloth over the mouth. As a result, detective Keith Frazier has
difficulty distinguishing friend from foe. But this is not the only thig. He also
has to deal with Madeleine White, who has been hired by the owner of the bank
to retrieve something sensitive out of the building. But the reason why the
robbers are doing this are not as obvious as they think.
With a great and strong cast
like this, it’s easier to make a good movie. Especially Denzel Washington and
Clive Owen are really good. Willem Dafoe sadly only has a small role, but makes
the best of it.
“Inside Man” is a well-executed
film and there is really nothing to complain about.
