saw: inside man
If you can get past Spike Lee's rote racial commentary and a penchant for putting his actors on dollies that's hardened into a visual tic, Inside Man stands as one of the director's more accessible movies. The plot is admittedly transparent and the story overstays its welcome by about forty minutes, but the cast is outstanding—particularly Jodie Foster in a confident, ingratiating turn as a high-class fixit woman. The only full-on miss here is Terence Blanchard's bleating score. It compromises every scene it intrudes upon. Grade: B
