Inside Man (2006)

A great heist movie? Bank on it
About 15 minutes into Spike Lee’s Inside Man, I started to get that sinking feeling. Here we go again. Triffic. Another robbery thriller with really nasty criminals (led by Clive Owen as Dalton Russell) versus the good guys (with Denzel Washington as honest, tough, smooth-talking cop Keith Frazier in charge). You know the kind? Think Die Hard (1988). Again.

Hot Fuzz (2007) - Colin’s Take
Written by Colin on November 27, 2007 – 10:19 pm -
A policeman’s lot is quite a gruesome one
Another slab of in-your-face comic genius from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and many of the usual suspects from Spaced.

Hot Fuzz - James’ and Paul’s Take
Written by James on November 27, 2007 – 10:15 pm -
Copper-bottomed comedy
Messrs Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are fast becoming the benchmark for what it means to be funny – comic actor and writer Pegg first paired up with writer/director Wright for the sensational Spaced sit-com, and they have subsequently worked together on the marvellous ‘not with a bang but a belly-laugh’ zombie pastiche, Shaun of the Dead (2004).
