Bottom Line: "Inside Man" proves that if a cops-and-robbers film has a strong screenplay and award-winning actors, it doesn’t need to be frenetic to keep us at the edge of our seats. Bravo, Spike...
Nate Stahlings (Josh Dean), new college grad, is starting adult life on the slow track--specifically, the move-back-to-your-folks'-house-in-Missouri track.

Rivera investigated the drug mess in the only logical way -- by going out and seeing it. Funny that in wartime the frontline journalist is a courageous, noble hero.
