InsideMan (2006)
I had watched this film a while ago on Sky and it was on again the other night, so I recorded it and watched it last night.
What's It All About?
This is basically your bank robbery caper, which seems as if it is impossible to pull off - or is it? It is kind of in the mould of Ocean's 11, in that you as the viewer watching it, find out how it unravels as you watch.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Inside Man (DVD)
Advantages: Great story Disadvantages: Can't think of any yet
on the surface whilst they have dark secrets. This is were the title 'InsideMan' comes in, at first I thought it indicated some sort of spy or infiltrator nad to an extent it does within the film but it also means inside a man's mind.
A very good film and one I'd definitely recommend to anyone. Mine cost me £5 from XtraVision and I'm quite happy with the value. There were no DVD extras. Similar films would be Dog Day Afternoon and Phonebooth but if you didn't like those films (I didn't like Phonebooth ) I wouldn't be put off.
Certificate
The film is a 15. There is alot of bad langauge and only some violence.
