Inside Man

CriticsCritics: 81
AudienceAudience: 7.8

When a masked gang takes over a Manhattan bank and holds its customers and staff hostage, a detective is sent to negotiate their release. As he tries to understand the robbers’ plan, he must also contend with corruption charges that threaten his own career.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tense bank-heist mysteries, sharp exchanges between a detective and a cool-headed criminal, and a plot that keeps you guessing; Not for you if you prefer tightly plausible schemes or brisk pacing throughout.
