Poetic Film Review: Inside Man (2006)

in #movies5 days ago

(source: tmdb.org)

In halls of power, where the mighty reign,
A perfect crime was hatched with cunning brain.
Dalton Russell, mastermind, with plan in hand,
Invades a bank, as hostages take their stand.

Detectives Frazier and Mitchell, Denzel and Chiwetel's might,
Attempt to negotiate, through day and through night.
Arthur Case, with connections to the high and low,
Enlists Madeleine White, Jodie Foster's artful show.

Spike Lee directs, with energy and wit,
Drawing from classics, to create a new hit.
Fast-forward flashbacks, to unravel the web,
A thrilling heist, with social commentary to prop.

Wall Street's dark secrets, and city's strife,
Racism and corruption, a perfect storm of life.
Dog Day Afternoon, and Pelham's tale,
Inside Man, a masterpiece, without fail.

Acting strong, from Washington to Owen's mask,
A gripping thriller, with tension that won't bask.
A Holocaust backdrop, a historical twist,
Plausibility's a stretch, but the plot does persist.

A commercial success, a sequel once discussed,
But Most Wanted, a sequel that was dismissed.
Inside Man, a film that's hard to forget,
A perfect crime, with themes that we can't neglect.
