Inside Man

Inside Man (IMDb:7.4|Rot:89%)

Saw Inside Man about a week ago at the Strand, based solely on its good rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I knew nothing about the plot, other than that a bank heist was involved. (I don't think that I'd even seen a trailer for it.) The cast is excellent: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, Jodie Foster, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Willem Dafoe…

I've only seen Chiwetel Ejiofor in Serenity, so I was looking forward to his performance here. Unfortunately, they didn't give him much to do— this is totally Denzel's film. But that was only a small disappointment in an otherwise great movie.

I liked the way the story unfolded and rewound, and I never felt like I had it all figured out. Good stuff. Go see it.

Did a few reviews in April, including Inside Man. "Worth a rent" I said: http://www.foamtotem.org/200604.html

I should post something on Da Vinci Code, but haven't yet. In a nutshell: Meh.
