decker does hollywood (inside man)

First of all, I have seen this movie once before.  The second time made it that much easier to understand.    When you watch this movie the first time if you aren't concentrating 100% you won't fully understand it til the end of the movie.    This movie is about Clive Owens masterminding the perfect bank robbery...  He and a few others master mind the perfect bank robbery and are dealing with a hostage negotiator (Denzel Washington) and a woman sent in just to get something special for the bank owner (Jodie Foster). 

 

  Clive Owens- Amazing, it was the first movie that I ever saw with him in it and it made me want to find other movies with him in it to watch.  I was an instant fan of his when I watched this movie.  He is tough and witty in this movie!  5 out of 5!!!  

 

Denzel Washington- I have not always been a big fan of his.  I've never thought much of him as an actor.  But he has a great mixture of humor and drama in this movie. I give him a 4 out of 5!!   

 

Jodie Foster- She doesn't have many parts in the movie, but the parts she plays is a very witty/sarcastic humor type of role.  I give her a 3 out of 5 only because they could've easily put her in more parts and they didn't. 

 

  Overall, this movie is one of my top 10 movies ever.  Mostly because I love the movies that make you wonder...  How'd they do that? Or why are they doing that?  This movie has everything that you would ever want in a movie in those respects!  5 STARS OUT OF 5!

Thanks for the review...I'll have to rent that one. My hubby loves Jodie Foster...

I loved it..I have the bootleg DVD..not sure if I should have said all of that, but it is defiently a good movie to watch! LOL

This movie is GREAT!!

Decker - this is the first time I have disagreed with you. I did not like this movie at all. I agree that Jodie Foster was almost a walk on part. I adore Jodie Foster wish she had a bigger part.

Decker asked me why I did nto liek the movie -

I think I need more action to keep me involved in a movie. If the movie ia all about a "deep" plot, the director really needs to throw in some action or some eye candy to keep me "pulled" into the movie. Jodie Foster's Panic room is an example of what I mean.

OH decker--Finally a dvd. Yes I have seen this and that's a humdinger movie. Slick is the word I'll use. I'll tell no more..

I thought this was a great movie, too. I always love Denzel, and we're also big fans of Clive. I mentioned that we watched Children of Men yesterday, but you said in this review this was the first time you'd seen Clive. The first movie we saw him in, which was what made us continue to watch for him, was a British film called GREENFINGERS.

Thanks for the review Decker, I have not seen it but you definitely have me interested now.

One of your top movies ever...wow, sounds like a heck of a recommendation!

Nice review, guess will have to add this to my never ending list. Thanks!
