Netflix has a must-watch crime thriller featuring a Denzel and Spike Lee team-up — and you should stream it before it's gone
"Inside Man" is a delightfully twisted heist thriller with a star-studded cast. Stream it while it's on Netflix before it's gone.
The highly anticipated crime thriller, "Inside Man" (2004), starring Denzel Washington and Spike Lee, has finally arrived on Netflix. Tom's Guide rated the film 3.5/5 stars, praising its polished production and Denzel's standout performance, but lamenting its runtime and underutilized cast.
The story revolves around NYPD Detective Keith Frazier, played by Washington, who must apprehend Dalton Russell, portrayed by Clive Owen, a notorious bank robber who has taken hostages during a heist. Arthur Case, played by Christopher Plummer, is the owner of the bank. The film is a well-crafted thriller with a constant score throughout its 129-minute runtime, but it could have benefited from a tighter narrative and more screen time for additional actors.
This marks the fourth collaboration between Denzel Washington and Spike Lee, and their fourth heist thriller together. With its star-studded cast and well-made production, "Inside Man" is a must-watch for fans of the genre.
