I loved this movie. Very thrilling, but can be a little boring if you are watching it for the 2nd or 3rd time. Very appropaite for most ages.

In the movie [SPOILER ALERT] someone is executed but turns out not dead at all. The violence is quite low. But for some reason I never heard the profanity.

Inside Man is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen. You don't have a clue what's going on until the very end, not because it's hard to follow, but because director Spike Lee does such a good job of disguising the true intentions of the bank robbers, who (SPOILER ALERT!) turn out to be harmless good guys. Their guns are fake and they didn't take any money. In one seen, the main robber (Clive Owen) is seen in a vault with a man and his son, who is playing a PSP game very much like Grand Theft Auto. The son is eleven years old, tops. Clive Owen's character discourages that behavior and rebukes the father for letting him play it. There are two big problems in this movie: the strong language (frequent uses of the f-word, s-word, an instance of the c-word, and lots of other profanities) and the chilling execution scene, which incidentally turned out to be a hoax. Nonetheless, my blood was ice for five minutes. Some sexual innuendo is present, but only between couples. All in all, this is a very good movie. Parents, take caution in letting your children see this movie. Be present with them and discuss the various elements.

I rarely watch action or heist films but this kept me insterested all the way. Denzel Washington does an awesome job as a replacement detective dealing with a hostage situatian manned by Clive Owen. Willem Dafoe has a great small part playing a cop and Christopher Plumber plays the owner of the bank that the robbery is situation is taking place. Jodi Foster plays her usual serious, straight foward, possible lesbian she plays most of the time (ei: Silence of the Lambs) but she preforms it well. There are a few questions I was left with at the end of the movie but nothing to major. I wouldn't take the little ones to it but any age after 13 would be fine.

very good movie almost as good as oceans eleven very smart worth watching 12 and over kids wont under stand it

This movie is not as bad as it may seem. This movie is smart and provokes critical thinking. I have to agree that the language is a pretty important issue, there is an F--- word from the beginning when Clive Owen robs the bank to the end when Denzel Washington speaks with his partner. Violence MAY be an issue with some parents, but its a bank robbery, what do you expect? Both of these are nothing children would see or hear otherwise. however, i not only aprrove, but recommend this movie for those my age. Of course, i have written in other reviews, its not about your age, but your mindset. This would be okay for an eight year old IF he were mature enough for it. So yes, for those who are mature at mind.

This is a very interesting, exciting movie. There isn't too many issues with being sexually inappropriate or with violence, but tons of bad language. It is clearly a movie made for older teens and adults, but young teens could watch it as long as they can understand the plot and are old enough not to be impressioned by swear words.
