| Universal's "Inside Man" easily led the field on Friday as it pulled in a very impressive $9.3 million. The film should earn between $25-$30 million for the weekend (opening way ahead of industry expectations), giving director Spike Lee the best opening mark of his career. |
I copied this quote from the box office thread and based on the number of people I saw today at the first matinee show, I think this will be Spike Lee's largest box office film. It has everything going for it, a good film, a lot of positive buzz and some top of the line actors that appeal to a cross section of demographics.

wow, no discussion?
i thought this movie was pretty well made. from the opening scene, i thought 'he's still in the bank!' but so much went on that i quickly forgot about it. Jodie Foster played herself but was still a very interesting cinematic 'cleaner'.
most of the times in these movies, you know what's really going on before the reveal, but the good movies are the ones where you're still entertained - like this one.

I never knew he was still inside until he crawled out from behind the Dell boxes. I guess I'm just slow. Or was entertained.
Great film, very well thought out, and acted very well too. The only thing I thought was off was the music over the opening titles - Indian? Not sure, but it sounded out of place.

I knew he was still in the bank once they didn't find his gun or him.

It was different, thus, I really liked it.

What song was that that played in the opening credits (and again during the closing)? I really enjoyed it

Loved the opening and closing music (Chaiyya Chaiyya), I stayed the entirety of the ending credits for that.
No "ethnic" music is ever out of place for the location.
The movie was entertaining, mostly for the logistics of the heist and the interraction between the leads. Said interrection is what makes the otherwise flat Chris Plummer subplot worth it.

Wasn't Jodie Foster's character using a Dell?
