Detailed item info

Movie description
His time as a director may have seen Spike Lee gently creep away from the controversial material that made his name, but he hasn't lost his eye for creating an entertaining spectacle; INSIDE MAN is a deliriously constructed crime caper designed to keep audiences guessing right up until the final moments. The plot, written by Russell Gewirtz, works from a devilishly simple premise and spins off on a number of interesting and creative tangents. Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) and his partner Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are sent to deal with a hostage situation at a bank in lower Manhattan. Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) is a masked man holding a number of people hostage in the bank while its chairman, Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer), worries about a secret document he has hidden in a safety deposit box in the vaults. Madeline White (Jodie Foster) is a sassy power broker who Case hires to enter the melee in order to get his mysterious object out of the box and out of the bank. As Gewirtz gradually confounds viewers' expectations by threading neat twists and turns into the plot, Lee briefly--perhaps too briefly for hardened Spike fans--returns to the racial themes he overtly tackled in his earlier work. The director uses a number of visual tricks to keep the action humming, such as spectacular overhead shots and grainy, darkly hued posthumous interview clips with the hostages, but INSIDE MAN is essentially a fun popcorn movie executed with an intelligence usually lacking in the genre. While many of the themes--cops are racist, people in power are corrupt, the innocent are persecuted--may be hackneyed, it's testament to Lee's stature as a filmmaker that he manages to pull an engrossing and enjoyable romp from such ostensibly standard subject matter.

Editorial reviews
3 stars out of 4 -- "Denzel Washington energizes the movie....[He] has the kind of star quality other actors would die for: unfakeable cool." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (04/06/2006) "[Lee's] most polished and satisfying work in years....[Foster delivers] her wittiest, most relaxed performance in ages..." New York Times - Manohla Dargis (03/24/2006) 4 stars out of 5 -- "While he slaloms around the plot's slippery hairpins, Lee relishes the interplay of character that pulses through Russell Gewirtz's screenplay, and a pedigree cast helps him to tweezer out the tensions and innuendos." Uncut - Adam Sweeting (05/01/2006) "Lee orchestrates the high-stakes drama with a slick adrenalised urgency that wouldn't be out of place in a multiplex actioner." Sight and Sound - Kevin Maher (05/01/2006) "Exceptionally well written with clever twists and witty dialogue by first-time screenwriter Russell Gewirtz, INSIDE MAN is adroitly executed by director Spike Lee." USA Today - Claudia Puig (03/24/2006) 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he first half's a gripper, twitchy and tense with plenty of nods toward modern urban anxieties..." Total Film - Matthew Leyland (08/01/2006) 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lee has managed to assemble a fantastic cast, with everyone from relative newcomer Ejiofor, to old-hand Plummer and especially Washington, as the slyly intelligent Frazer, making an impression." Ultimate DVD - Chris Piene (08/01/2006) "It's smart, twisty, and talky." -- Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly - Missy Schwartz (08/11/2006) 4 stars out of 5 -- "With a knowing nod to Lumet's DOG DAY AFTERNOON, Spike Lee shows he can deliver a straightforward heist thriller." Uncut - Chris Roberts (09/01/2006)

BY BIDDING ON THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SO PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE BIDDING:

PRODUCTS

All of my dvds are used unless specified as new which means still wrapped like in the store but does not necessarily include the cardboard sleeve if it originally came with one. All dvds come in a case with the original cover art unless specified otherwise. My dvds are not copies, bootlegs, asian imports etc. They are all the real deal. A very small selection were rentals. The case and cover art are sold as-is but I will NEVER send you a broken case. When I rate the dvd as "like new, very good, good and acceptable", I am always referring to ONLY the dvd, NOT the case.

SHIPPING CHARGES

Shipping includes more than just the postage. It includes my supplies (dvds, printer paper, printer ink, labels, envelopes, boxes, etc.). It also includes daily trips to the post office, gas etc. so there is NO SHIPPING DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES FOR U.S. BUYERS!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH MY SHIPPING CHARGES OR REFUND POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS OR ANY OTHER ITEM I HAVE LISTED.

Please DO NOT send payment until everything you have bid on has ended.

PAYMENT & DELIVERY INFORMATION

I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL !!

I make it a point to ship within 3 business days after I receive your payment, except of course weekends and holidays. Payments must be received within 6 days after your final auction win. If not received within 6 days after your final win, and other arrangements have not been made, I have the option to void the sale to cover the cost or file a dispute against you with ebay which will count as a strike against your account. If you are bidding on multiple dvds, payment is due within 7 days from the date of the LAST item you won and I realize that your bids may stretch out over several days. This is not a problem.

RETURN POLICY

I am committed to the satisfaction of my customers and try to provide the highest level of service and excellence. My used dvds are cleaned and tested if necessary for functionality prior to shipment and I guarantee that they play as if new. If upon receipt, you find that the dvd does not play properly, it is your responsibility to contact me within 48 hours of receiving it per the delivery/tracking confirmation. Otherwise, my return policy expires and I cannot accept the dvd back. It is your responsibility to ship back the dvd within 3 days after receipt, providing me with the tracking number at the time of mailing. It doesn't have to be received within 3 days, just get it in the mail within 3 days. Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility. Once I receive the dvd a refund will be issued immediately via PayPal for the purchase price/winning bid of the dvd only.  Purchase price does not include what you paid for shipping.

I DO NOT accept returns for the new dvds since they are brand new.

I DO accept returns for used dvds and ONLY if it does not play properly. Cover art and cases are sold as-is and I will not accept returns if you do not like the condition of the case, but I do guarantee that I will NEVER send you a broken case - and broken means that it will not have cracks or will not close. In other words, the case doesn't work. A sticker on it or writing on it or something similar DOES NOT qualify as broken and I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE OF BUYER'S REMORSE.

INSURANCE

APPARENTLY EBAY IS REMOVING THE INSURANCE OPTION AS OF 9/22/09 (WEIRD) SO INSURANCE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE AN OPTION UNLESS I AUTOMATICALLY ADD IT TO THE HANDLING FEE. SINCE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE INSURANCE, I AM NOT ADDING THAT EXTRA CHARGE TO THE COST AND I AM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO STATE THAT IF YOU WANT IT TO LET ME KNOW. SO... THERE IS NO LONGER AN INSURANCE OPTION BUT I WILL PACKAGE AND SHIP YOUR ITEMS AS SAFELY AS I CAN !!

TRACKING & DELIVERY CONFIRMATION

I will provide buyers with the tracking number when I create the shipping label. All items are shipped with delivery confirmation. Also, if you are not aware of this, you can go to View Order Details for the item you won and can find the tracking number there.

FEEDBACK

I only leave feedback first when I am the buyer. Due to the new feedback policies, many buyers are using feedback extortion to try to get an item free or for some other annoying reason. Therefore, it is because of these bad ebayers that I refuse to leave it first. I will however, leave positive feedback for you the same day it is left for me.
