Inside man is a realistic action movie, but however it manages to stun by it’s brilliant way to handle hard situations in the film.
This is a movie from a criminals point of view. It will manage to get the audience to take the criminals side, without making the police officers look bad. That is one of the things I admire in this movie. Movie tells a story about a man who plans a perfect bank robbery and on the side he reveals many bigger things about local politicians and big shots. For the whole time the movie is interesting and it wont leave cold anyone who is a friend of a good heist movie.
The fascinating thing I really love in this movie are the characters. Robbers call themselfs with a different variation of a name ”steve” like a steve-o or stevie. The good guys have many interesting characters, but one of them clearly makes it as a main character, he is a detective Keith Frazier. Detective is a slightly distracted, because at the time of the assingment he is facing corruption charges, so he doesn’t really have a change to fail.
The one thing that actually makes this movie above the average compared to other heist movies, is the plot. Viewer will be suprised as the movie goes on. I would definitely watch this movie all over again. Inside man won’t brag with insane violence instead it is a more of a thriller kind of mind game, which is played by traditional cops vs robbers positioning. In my opinion the best scene in this movie is placed inside a surrounded bank (spoiler alert). When the police launches assault the criminal mastermind hides inside the bank and leaves weeks later, when the situation has calmed down. I personally loved that scene, just the way how to deal with the situations without anykind of overkills with violence, it impresses me.
This is my rewiew about a movie ”Inside man” if i would give a traditional five star rewiew, I would say 4/5.
