: Inside Man

Nice little bank job thriller with an unusual twist. I’m not sure the film works without that twist — nothing much happens but the mystery of what is going on and once that’s explained, there’s not much left to watch — but if you don’t know what’s going to happen it is interesting. Several of the characters are quite interesting and it’s fun watching them fall or succeed. At times the music and edits are jarring — for such a simple story, a simpler style would have been better. But overall it’s not bad. It’s paint-by-the-numbers, but the finished product still looks decent.
