One of the five collaborations between director Spike Lee and actor Denzel Washington, “Inside Man” is a gripping crime thriller that centers on an audacious bank robbery. And now’s a great time to watch, as my colleague Malcolm McMillan is currently watching every Washington movie as part of his “Denzel Watchathon” series, so add “Inside Man” to your watchlist this week and share in the celebration of one of Hollywood’s finest actors.In “Inside Man,” Washington plays Detective Keith Frazier, who must trade wits with a criminal mastermind, Dalton Russell (Clive Owen), who believes he’s constructed the perfect heist. After entering a New York City bank, Dalton and his crew take hostages, and Frazier is called to negotiate terms. But when the bank’s owner deploys a fixer, Madeline White (Jodie Foster), to retrieve a valuable item from one of the building's deposit boxes, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine who is truly in control.Watch "Inside Man" on Netflix now‘Dead Man’s Wire’ (2025)
