A yawn-inducing, snail-paced disappointment, Inside Man tells the story of a detective (Denzel Washington) who is under investigation due to his possible involvement in a case of missing money. When a bank is robbed and hostages are held against their will by a mastermind thief (Clive Owen) and his team, the detective is assigned to coerce the thief to surrender  his one shot at proving he is innocent and worthy of his position. Enter a powerful woman (Jodie Foster) with secrets and intents of her own, sent to recover an item from the bank owner's safety deposit box that is stored within the bank, and you have quite the three-way dilemma. Unfortunately, all you get it set-up in the film, and nothing pays off in the end. Denzel Washington is at his most uninteresting in an ineffective and distastefully egocentric performance. The only saving grace for the film is its competent co-stars Jodie Foster and Clive Owen, who are much better than the film itself. In fact, Jodie Foster delivers the most surprising and high-caliber performance playing against type as a ruthless, cutthroat villain of sorts. Clive Owen isn't given much to do besides brood and pose, but the depth of his presence and his achieved acting ability more than make up for his underdeveloped role. It's strange that so much talent is wasted on this film of little impact or interest. You have to wonder what director Spike Lee was thinking while he was creating this film. The most perplexing aspect of Inside Man, however, is how much unwarranted praise it has received. For a film that seemed to have all the makings of a pre-summer blockbuster, this one falls horribly flat.

En gäspande, snigelsnabb besvikelse berättar Inside Man historien om en detektiv (Denzel Washington) som är under utredning på grund av sin eventuella inblandning i ett fall av saknade pengar. När en bank blir rånad och gisslan hålls mot sin vilja av en mästerlig tjuv (Clive Owen) och hans team, får detektiven i uppdrag att tvinga tjuven att ge upp sitt enda försök att bevisa att han är oskyldig och värdig sin ställning. Ange en kraftfull kvinna (Jodie Foster) med hemligheter och avsikter av egen, skickas för att hämta en vara från bankägarens bankfack som lagras inom banken, och du har ganska trevägs dilemma. Tyvärr, allt du får det uppställt i filmen, och ingenting lönar sig i slutändan. Denzel Washington är som mest ointressant i en ineffektiv och osmakligt egocentrisk föreställning. Den enda besparingsgracen för filmen är dess kompetenta biroller Jodie Foster och Clive Owen, som är mycket bättre än själva filmen. I själva verket levererar Jodie Foster den mest överraskande och högkalibriga prestanda som spelar mot typ som en hänsynslös, dödsdömd skurk av typ. Clive Owen får inte mycket att göra förutom att grubbla och posera, men djupet i hans närvaro och hans uppnådda skådespelarförmåga kompenserar mer än hans underutvecklade roll. Det är konstigt att så mycket talang slösas bort på den här filmen av föga genomslag eller intresse. Man måste undra vad regissören Spike Lee tänkte när han skapade filmen. Den mest förbryllande aspekten av Inside Man är dock hur mycket obefogat beröm det har fått. För en film som tycktes ha alla förutsättningarna för en försommar-storsäljare, faller den här fruktansvärt platt.

It's strange that so much talent is wasted on this film of little impact or interest. One must wonder what director Spike Lee thought when he created the film. However, the most puzzling aspect of Inside Man is how much unjustified praise it has received. For a film that seemed to have all the conditions for a presummer-big seller, this falls terribly flat.
