ticket sales of $29 million. The film, which also
stars Clive Owen and Jodie
Foster, was the top picture overseas as well, with
sales of $9.6 million from 18 countries, including No. 1
openings in Britain and Germany, according to distributor

Man review - The NY Times - Manohla Dargis: "To
watch Mr. Washington breeze into a scene smooth as silk,
smooth as Bogart and Easy Rawlins combined, or to listen to
Mr. Owen murmur sweet nothings into the camera, is to experience
the ineffable pleasures that only big-screen stars can provide. Mr.
Lee rarely treats his actresses or female characters as well
as their male counterparts, but whether by design or neglect,
he helps Ms. Foster deliver her wittiest, most relaxed performance
in ages. Part Mata Hari, part Ilsa the She Wolf, she stalks
the sets in form-fitting suits and nose-bleed heels that
show off her spectacular legs wonderfully. (She could kill
with those things!) In a story dominated by men, in which
most of the women are either desexualized or double-D babes,
her character presents an amusing fantasy of female power.
One of those mysterioso brokers who circumvent both the law
and the criminal element for the deepest pockets in town,
Madeline isn't the equal of any man: she's superior. And
you thought dominatrixes wore only black leather."

EW.com: Inside
Man is a hybrid of studio action pic and Spike Lee joint. Or
else it's a cross between a 2006 Spike Lee joint and a 1970s-style
movie indictment of urban unease. It's also a blend of Dog Day
Afternoon and a Foster tough-lady thriller; of a Foster thriller
and a smooth Owen sleight-of-hand drama; and of an Owen caper and
a Washington out-for-justice pic. Some unwieldy hybrid — and
yet the gamble pays off. Everyone gets a piece of the deal. Everyone
gets a piece of the city with the brutally changed skyline, in
all its new paranoia. - Thanks, Steph
Rolling
Stone IM Review: "And
watch the canny way that Owen, required to do a lot of acting behind
a mask (shades of Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta), brings
nuance and wit to the robbery ringmaster. He reacts in shock to
a child playing a gory video game called Kill Dat Nigga and
then turns ruthless himself in a split second. The scene in which
he catches a hostage lying about a cell phone is a model of how
to build and sustain tension." - Thanks, mgill

USA Today: Inside
the premiere of Inside Man - "...For Owen, concealing
his face 
for
the most of the film was "weird. You get this great script, this
great part, and then you put a mask on and hide your face. But
you get used to it. I told Spike all the time, 'Anyone could be
doing this part.' "

Man review (A good one) - "...The head robber, Clive
Owen's Dalton Russell, is a character at least as old as Alan
Rickman's Eurotrash villain in "Die Hard," but this guy is somehow
different: Unusually cool and calm, he is fully in control of
the situation as he keeps a step or even a step and a half ahead
of Frazier at all times." - Thanks, Steph
Emmanuel
Levy's review of the film - Thanks, mgill
Emmanual Levy.com: Great
article and comments from Spike on Inside Man - On Clive
Owen - Clive Owen is great, and he took on a big risk, because
the audience can't see his face. Denzel said it was hard for him
to act with Clive because he fed off Clive's expressions, and there
were scenes when his face was completely masked. To give the actors
more "face" time and allow the audience into the clever robber's
head, we carefully reviewed the script and found places where Owen's
character could be filmed unmasked. - Thanks, mgill, Steph
