Rent Inside Man now if you missed it in theatres. I wish it had stayed around long enough for us to see it in a theatre. Inside Man kept my interest through the entire movie with many twists and turns. The fact that it took place right by the apartment my dad moved out of last week made it more interesting, too.
Spike Lee does a wonderful job with an amazing cast. I should have known (from what Jodi Foster has said about being super selective with her movie choices) that this would be a great movie, but I don't think her last few have been this good.
As a huge Christopher Plummer fan (dating back to when I first saw The Sound of Music) it was really interesting to see him in this role. Definitely a huge departure from Captain Von Trapp. In fact, it'd be hard to find a character who is less like the Captain than Arthur Case.
Inside Man kept me guessing about aspects of the plot from beginning to end and the final scene of the movie was absolutely perfect. I definitely recommend renting Inside Man! It's a wonderful story that's well assembled to make a very exciting movie.
