Inside Man

Inside man is a American Thriller/Drama directed by Spike Lee in 2006. It is about a man who has the perfect plan to rob a bank, while keeping innocent people hostage. The detectives have to follow his plan but also try to make sure everyone remains unhurt.

Detective Keith Fraizer (Denzel Washington) is a new detective who hasn't had his 'big break' yet. He is very excited to start on this unexpected case, however he did seem nervous as it was such a huge scenario as it is a bank heist on Wall Street. Throughout the film, he is shown to have a great sense of humour while being serious about the situation. He is a smart thinker who thinks outside the box and looks for the finer details of the case. He was told to close the case by the head of department however he realised there was something still missing, which is how he ends up solving the case. He was able to work under pressure through challenging situations as innocent peoples lives were at risk.

Dalton Russel (Clive Owen) is the man who robbed the bank. Although he had helpers, he was the one that came up with the plan and executed it perfectly. He does not show much emotion throughout the film, meaning that his character is hard to read. However, he is very intelligent and he knows what he wants. He always sticks to his plan which tells us that he likes to be organised. 

Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) is a cunning lady who gets everything she wants. She is very smart and always knows how to negotiate with people. She acts very loyal during the film however she is very secretive. She is always one step ahead of the detectives until the end of the film when Detective Fraizer closes the case as he realised what was going on. She can come across as arrogant but at the end of the day, it fits in with her job role.
