Inside Man (2006) Wife's First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

[@maximillianosaben]

This movie is so damn good! And as a lifelong New Yorker, this movie is hysterical. That Albanian scene is priceless!

[@thomasbanks641]

One of the best and most underrated heist movies ever made, when you hear the opening monologue the second time and figure out what the title means, it hits you like a brick

[@dnllrnt]

Wife and I saw this in the theaters, when the hammer dropped on what was in Case's deposit box, there was one dude in the theater going: "Nah man, Captain Von Trapp dealing with Nazis?!" Howling. We were laughing our asses off.

[@iKvetch558]

LOL...I would have shouted something like... "That explains it...General Chang was a Nazi all along!" 😂

[@tonytiger5128]

Top tier Spike Lee film. Underrated film is 25th Hour with Edward Norton and an amazing supporting cast. One of the best monologues ever in there as well.

[@Jerzeejaylive]

Yes. Unfortunately, I can’t find one single reaction for 25th Hour and it’s a masterpiece. IYKYK.

[@moviescatsmargs]

From what I remember, Denzel was offered the part of Dalton the Bank Robber but didn't like the idea of acting underneath a mask. Which is interesting because I think Clive Owen's best acting in the movie is while he's in his bank robber outfit with the scarf or whatever over his mouth and the sunglasses.

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Clive jus talked about this recently, he made sure that spike lee would show his face in the movie and didn't want to wear the mask the whole movie.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

If Denzel had played Dalton, he would have insisted the robber get caught.

[@blakeharris58]

Quiet as kept, Denzel needs to show his face to make his roles work. That makes it easier to play the same character in every movie.

[@ArfurFaulkesHake]

So you saw how Denzel handled a hostage situation. Now you can watch Sam Jackson giving it a go in The Negotiator. Also a very good movie.

[@mchllwoods]

Bruce Willis in Hostage was another good one as well.

This movies references two heist movies from the 70s that you should watch: DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975) and THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974, NOT the 2009 version). DOG DAY AFTERNOON was directed by Sidney Lumet (12 ANGRY MEN) and stars Al Pacino & John Cazale (Michael & Fredo Corleone). THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE stars Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.

[@garethdavies8004]

Also Denzel plays the Walter Matthau role in the 2009 remake.

[@shainewhite2781]

My parents watched this rhis and they loved it, and it has a lot of crazy twists and turns throughout that will make you watch it again and again to figure out what really happened.

[@MikeB12800]

I think Denzel had a mustache in Ricochet. Early 90’s movie. I personally like it. Fallen is a great Denzel movie too.

[@gregwodzynski941]

Fallen might be my favorite. And John Lithgow in ricochet is awesome

[@MikeB12800]

@@gregwodzynski941 agreed!

[@Estrada72]

The Brave One with Jodie foster is really good

[@Zaburino]

It's baffling how little of a cultural imprint this film has had, given it's quality. So few channels have reacted to it, I've been flabbergasted why. So fun! Edit: And the fact that La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) basically stole the concept full cloth for its setup just makes it that much more obvious that this is a formula for success.

[@LogicalNiko]

Spike Lee...master of the dolly shot. 21:00 - The shot on of Densel on the camera dolly with everyone else in the background was an amazing setup. A perfect way to introduce shock, anger, and being outside oneself. Incredibly under noticed in this movie, and I've never seen anyone else do something similar. Also if you notice at 3:02 Spike Lee also did some very great double dolly shots to get that background fade in.

[@obscillesk]

straight up my favorite shot in the movie, and I think his best use of it in the moment. It just hits so hard for me

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

Spike used it in a lot of his movies.. my favorite use of it was in Malcolm X in a pivotal moment.

[@LogicalNiko]

@@user-dz6fy6qv2l yeah the floating dolly shots are amazing too. I just especially love that the camera is at a slight down angle and the footage purposely has other action on the background moving around him. The dolly upshot in Malcom X was also very powerful but much more etherical of a composition with the trees. Of course I guess no one else wants to be compared with Spike in these things so they don't try it. Also Harvey Keitel narrating along with the bike in Clockers was so great too.

[@King-if5kh]

you have to see denzel in 'Trainig day" he won an oscar for that role

[@theaikidoka]

I love the bits where Denzel asks the various interviewees 'so did you rob the place then?', they laugh nervously and then he asks again 'no but did you though?' and they look like they are going to faint from stress. He's so charismatic it's almost irritating. Edit: oh, and Chewitel is great here too, in a relatively early role.

[@hillarymullins7928]

One of my favorite heist movies I actually know someone who did an inside bank robbery. They worked there and knew the cameras were broken so when cash was brought in before it could be counted, they took the top layer of the stacks and rearranged it, and got away with it.

[@trevordavenport4284]

Good call on the 'generation kill' driver, but also one of the hostages did a sopranos ep where he was in with junior.. the Asian guy..

I can only hope they will get to know Ziggy Sobotka and Miles Straume in their future TV reactions.

He's always hilarious in every role I've seen him in.. Great in the show "industry" too.

A very underrated Spike Lee is Summer Of Sam, based around the Son of Sam killings

[@JordanJMyers]

Another Spike Lee joint with Denzel y'all should watch is He Got Game. Hope more Denzel movies are to come. Never gets old.

[@martman319]

I would recommend "Training Day". just a tremendous performance from Denzel. and I would also say "Panic Room" as well, as you talked about.

[@gregwodzynski941]

Fudge, I forgot about training day.

[@chefskiss6179]

Loved this watchalong with ya, I guess this means we're (hopefully) that much closer to Denzel's Deja Vu at some point. And speaking of Panic Room, more David Fincher the better :) especially Benjamin Button.

[@charlesnyckd]

“Devil in a blue dress,” “courage under fire,” “the siege,” “he got game,” “training day,” “the bone collector,” “the hurricane” are just a few of Denzel’s film that you’ll enjoy. His masterclass performance was “Malcolm X.”

I look at it this way: Dalton *did* steal something, it just wasn't money. What he stole was Case's good name/reputation. And in many ways, since you can't put a price on that, the loss hits much harder.

This movie is awesome. One of the great 2000s movies.

[@madmark1957]

Decades ago in the UK a friend brother built up a considerable collection of signs including street names from various cities and signs from public buildings, brass name plates etc. How he did it was simple. He owned a white van, a set of white overalls, a ladder and some tools and he simply drove up to his target and took it down. If asked he was told it was going for cleaning or replacement. Acting co0mpletely confidently and like it's his job he was never caught.

I didn't like Spike Lee's earlier work. It wasn't until Malcolm X with Denzel Washington and this movie that I was in. Please react to Malcolm X even if you don't get it in by black history month. Denzel's depiction of him is uncanny. And I often cite it as the best acting performance I've ever seen.

[@miller-joel]

That's his best movie. But people don't listen.

[@R1ch4rd74]

we've seen this several times, and Sam is right to watch it a second time to see it unfold in a different light. Great movie. check out a movie called The Fan with Robert DeNiro.

[@Bill-v7p8x]

One of Spike's best (and most mainstream) film that shows the influence of the original Taking of Pelham 123 (the other being Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs). What I loved was you can look at each main character as either protagonist or antagonist. Some other cool stuff: the opening song is from Dil Se, a great and just as weird Bollywood film; the overhead shot of the cops setting up the the perimeter was like watching a spider web being built in time lapse; of course, the inside man is the Jewish diamond dealer. Fun and thoughtful film at the same time.

It was "bin Laden's nephew", which is kinda hilarious if you know that apparently, mosta bin Laden's family are actually cool, and were ashamed of and disowned him (because of 9/11, al Qaeda, and his general extremism). You should check out comedian Russell Peters' set, Adventures in Saudi Arabia. (The movie *might've* been trying to refer to a guy everyone apparently thought was Osama bin Laden's nephew, but turned out to actually be his son, and one of the few of the bin Laden family who hadn't disowned his dad.)

Remember when Case was telling the story of the Jewish couple? The diamond dealer who ask Dalton at the end "Where's the ring?" Those were his parents.

[@jmackmcneill]

Two different details:- 1) My personal theory for the robbers is that they were all relatives of the family killed in WW2. 2) The close family members of you-know-who are all members of the royal family of Saudi Arabia. They suffered a few social problems after 2001, but nothing more. This was a HOA negotiation.

[@gothamqm]

I've been saying that for YEARS since this came out. That the robbery crew is either related to the family that the bank owner gave up to the Nazis, or very close to someone related to the Jewish family, & they exacted their revenge on him.

And also his family had a business with the bush family they were friends Also he was cia trained and lived inusa

I loved this film. I went to the theater to see this and it always hit me as one of Denzels top performances. This was back when hollywood employed WRITERS on merit and not activists. This film aside, not long now until Dune 2. Please guys, dont keep it for your channel. The first film was an EXPERIENCE in IMAX with that Dolby Atmos sound system. Reviews are out for Dune 2 and widely described as a masterpiece. I went to see the IMAX reun of the first film with a Dune 2 preview.

I like this movie a lot, it's a fun ride. But I'm a little sad because I feel like so many more people will see this movie than will see other Spike Lee films that have so much more to say. Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, Summer of Sam, 25th Hour, Chi-Raq, BlacKkKlansman and Da 5 Bloods all deserve at least as much attention as this movie, but It's this movie that gets replayed on cable TV the most often. I hope that you will explore Spike Lee's filmography more, especially "Do the Right Thing" and "BlacKkKlansman" which are his very best films. As for Denzel, this guy has an overwhelming number of great performances. Could he possibly be the best actor alive? If you've seen "Training Day" you know the answer is HELL YEAH! Check him out in "American Gangster", "Flight", and as Tom Hanks' lawyer in "Philadelphia". And don't forget "Fences" which he directed as well as starred in. Of course, you can't let "Malcom X" get by you either. Glad you enjoyed this movie!

Denzel has a whole lot of good movies to watch. Don't know which ones you already did, but more recent and typical ones for reacting are "The Equalizer", "Safe House", "American Gangster", "Man on Fire", or "Training Day". The ones I prefer are less known and mainly from the 90s, except for "Man on Fire", and are "The Bone Collector" (1999, thriller with Angelina Jolie), "Out of Time" (2003, thriller with Eva Mendes), "Fallen" (1998, great movie, thriller with John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, James Gandolfini and Elias Koteas), "The Siege" (1998, interesting drama-thriller-action movie pre-9/11, with Bruce Willis and Annette Bening), or "Virtuosity" (1995, underrated sci-fi with a younger Russell Crowe). There are still quite a few interesting ones, aside from these listed. I agree "Children of Men" is one of the best movies ever. For Clive Owen, fantastic actor, I'd suggest, if you haven't seen them, "The International" (2009, action-thriller with Naomi Watts), "Sin City" of course (2005, with great cast, too long to list), or "Anon" (2018, a sci-fi thriller with Amanda Seyfried).

If you're going to follow up a series of heist films with a heist film, you definitely chose the right one, the first watch is special but it stands up to repeated viewings and is great to show people that haven't seen it.
