Like ‘Roll Bounce,’ but Dramatic…

I never wanna have to say something like this, particularly about a movie featuring such delicious specimens of manliness as both Clive Owen and Denzel Washington, but ‘Inside Man’ is a lousy lay.

As a horror film, this has a sucker-punch power more potent that what most movies specifically designed as “horror” can muster.

Has style to spare. Which is a big problem.

Feels like jury duty.

Farrell: awesome. The movie as a whole: not so much.

Please kill me.

A deep-down disturbing and surprisingly poignant riff on abandonment, inhuman isolation, and creepy desolation.

It’s got an edgy, itchy, slightly out-of-skew vibe that perfectly captures the sensation of being off-balance that all New Yorkers have been stumbling through life with since 9/11.
