Inside Man
Finally just caught this on HBO. Really good. Perfect role for Clive Owen who is definitely one of those people that's surprisingly hard to cast if you look at all the stuff he's been in that just hasn't worked at all (or where he's been great but the movie didn't hold up -- like Closer). There's a tonal quality to his enjoyment of himself on screen that just begs to be used, but "smug asshole" just doesn't give him nearly enough to do.
Anyway, still filled with all those little Spike Lee tics that annoy the crap out of me as a viewer, but very, very solid. Summer of Sam remains my favourite of his, but this was seriously interesting and lean stuff.
