It doesn't seem to play to his strengths yet it's a perfect crucible for Spike to explore his pet themes of race and class in the lumpy melting pot of New York City and a great set-up for what he does best...September 24, 2010
An intelligent, invigoratingly airtight caper and a love letter to New York on crumpled, coffee-stained paper, "Inside Man" is the best kind of Spike Lee joint - one where he doesn't stumble over his sledgehammer before swinging it.March 28, 2006
It's very satisfying.June 19, 2009
... remains consistently watchable as a mechanical exercise.July 11, 2016
The ending has some plotting issues-much of this perfect execution seems to rest on coincidence and/or the intelligence level of the law types dealing with it-but everything up to it is well-made and entertaining. A fine summer rental.August 30, 2009
A limp ride that, for all the shove of the camera and the grabby intimations of buried corruption, is no different from a John McTiernan JointNovember 01, 2007
As unexpected as some of its plot twists is the fact that this unapologetic genre movie was directed by Spike Lee, who has never sold himself as Mr. Entertainment. But here it is, a Spike Lee joint that's downright fun.March 27, 2011
The lack of characterization of the robbers, while true to the structure of the story, makes it seem a bit flat. At the end of the day, it's not really about anything; it's just a bunch of stuff that happens. But it's a bunch of stuff that's fun to watch.March 24, 2006
Even past the midway point, it's all working -- it's taut, it's funny, it's trenchant, it's stylish. And then it isn't.June 24, 2006
A slick, kinetic and relatively straightforward -- which is to say enjoyably twisty-turny -- tranche of cat-and-mouse procedural.April 29, 2008
[A] wily thriller, which revitalizes a familiar premise by turning it inside out.April 05, 2006
I gloried in the sheer spectacle of Jodie Foster as Madeline White, an exquisitely groomed, fearlessly feline fixer striding on her high heels and her high horse into one supposedly perilous situation after another.
