What a wonderful, entertaining and intelligent movie! I’ve never been a fan of Spike Lee, but with The Inside Man he manages to disguise as a "standard" cop movie what really is a diatribe about deception, racism and how everyone can be fooled by appearances and preconceptions. The movie has many characters, but with just a few lines of dialogue, they all communicate a lot about their personality, background and motivations.

A masterpiece of the rarest kind.
