INSIDE MAN

A tense heist flick by Spike Lee? That's right, this dangerous cat-and-mouse criminal caper may be the most atypical Spike Lee Joint yet. Nothing is as it seems in the political thriller starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster. In the film, a cop has to talk down a bank robber after the perfect heist turns into a hostage situation, but even as the police officer works, a Manhattan power broker contacts him with the news that the heist is more than it seems. Opens Friday.
