“u0026#39;Inside Manu0026#39; engages the viewer from the opening scene through the credits. One of the better Heist films one can watch, with an all-star cast of highly-accomplished actors delivering the goods. Recommended viewing!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo ordinary film maker, Lee taps his expertise in film making, applying superior cinematography, editing, and direction skills.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHeadlining the film is Denzel Washington as the good guy cop, and Clive Owen as the highly intelligent robber (with the screen-play thankfully avoiding the crazy/insane clicheu0026#39; Bond movie villain characterization).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Filling-inu0026quot; as good as one will find in bank robber caper films are the superior supporting cast performances of Christopher Plummer (who has never delivered anything sub-par in his career), Jodie Foster (effectively playing against her u0026quot;typeu0026quot;), William Dafoe (over-due for an Oscar), Chiwetel Ejiofor (perfect subtle side-arm detective partner to Denzel), and across the board good performances by the entire supporting ensemble cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLee doesnu0026#39;t try to play out the big surprise ending clicheu0026#39;, but instead allows one to piece things together as the film unfolds, letting us u0026quot;inu0026quot; to the narrative piece by piece. This is refreshing and elevates the film overall.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReally hard to find any critical piece missing in the film. Editing and pacing excellent, and even the potentially preposterous story idea works. Yes there are a few u0026quot;identifying the magicianu0026#39;s tricksu0026quot; moments inside what could have been a perceived as an over the top narrative, but one overlooks those because this is quite the entertaining film and it is put together so well – Witty dialogue delivered by some of the all-time great actors who were perfectly cast on their parts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBravo to all concerned👏, and two thumbs up!👍👍”
