Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The jazzish score, by Lee's music man, Terence Blanchard, is typically intrusive. But the mood is right, the twists are new. And with one casting inspiration, Inside Man furthers the rising stardom of Chiwetel Ejiofor (Serenity).

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
This is the mother lode all action/suspense directors search for and Lee, who usually doesn't work in that genre, has hit it.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - Unnamed
I found myself savoring a thriller (as well as a Spike Lee “joint”) that wasn't, for a change, in my face.

Empire - Unnamed
It's certainly a Spike Lee film, but no Spike Lee Joint. Still, he's delivered a pacy, vigorous and frequently masterful take on a well-worn genre.

L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas
The heist at the heart of Inside Man is brilliant, and so is the movie.
