Who here has seen the 2006 release of "Inside Man"?

It was a really, really good movie actually.
I usually wouldn't see a movie like that, but it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole bus ride to New York City, so it got kinda uncomfortable, but it was a GREAT movie!
Directed by Spike Lee. First Spike Lee film i've ever seen.

Synopsis

It all starts out simply enough: four people dressed in painters’ outfits march into the busy lobby of Manhattan Trust, a cornerstone Wall Street branch of a worldwide financial institution. Within seconds, the costumed robbers place the bank under a surgically planned siege, and the 50 patrons and staff become unwitting pawns in an airtight heist.

NYPD hostage negotiators Detectives Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) and Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are dispatched to the scene with orders to establish contact with the heist’s ringleader, Dalton Russell (Clive Owen), and ensure safe release of the hostages.

But things don’t progress as planned. Russell proves an unexpectedly canny opponent—clever, calm and totally in command—a puppet master with a meticulous plan to disorient and confuse not only the hostages, but also the authorities. Outside, the crowd of New Yorkers grows as the situation becomes increasingly tense.

The robbers appear to consistently be one step ahead of the police, outwitting Frazier and Darius at every turn. Frazier’s suspicions that more is at work than anyone perceives are justified with the entry of Madeline White (Jodie Foster), a power player with shadowy objectives, who requests a private meeting with Russell.

But just what are the robbers after? Why has nothing worked to alleviate the standoff, which stretches on hour after hour? Frazier is convinced that invisible strings are being pulled and secret negotiations are taking place as the powder keg situation grows more unstable by the moment. With loyalties and motives called into question, the detective engages in a risky game of cat-and-mouse—but with the rules of the game ever changing, one wrong move may take the volatile match closer to a disastrous and deadly conclusion.

And um, yeah. Clive Owen...just a warning, a wee bit sexy.

I've seen trailers for this, and it seemed really interesting. I never got to watching it though.

I heard it was kind of lame, but I still want to watch it anyway.

I heard it was ridicoulasly (I know I didn't spell that right..but *shrug*) stupid, but Clive Owen was THE only reason why I wanted to. I'm shallow, but, oh well. He was great in King Arthur.

[gojira]

it was alright. nothing i'd buy or watch again

[Siena Jade]

I meant to watch it when it came out, but I never got around to it...

Clive Owen + Gosford Park = me very happy.

[*sofakinglazy*]
