Guide Review - Inside Man DVD Review
To further complicate matters, a woman with powerful connections inserts herself into the process as a representative of the founder of the bank being robbed. Detective Frazier knows there's much more going on than meets the eye, but even the trained negotiator doesn't see all the twists and turns coming.
The Bonus Features
The deleted scenes included on the DVD aren't your typical cut scenes. Although there's only a handful included, they're lengthy and well-worth checking out. Fans of Lee and Washington should also enjoy the easy banter between the two men in the "Number 4" featurette, a discussion of the four films they've made together.
Anyone who wants a mini-lesson in filmmaking the Spike Lee way needs to listen to Lee's commentary track. The filmmaker explains how he shots scenes, the camera work, his signature shots, why he chose certain locations, and much more.
