Is
Inside Man the one with Al Pacino shouting "Attica!". If yes, I agree.
But seriously, I am with Brisk Nap on this film. It was not bad, but I'm surprised people here liked it
that much. The plot points that could be great twists, except
Spoiler:well, the "inside man" one 
- this one was pretty cool,
were foreshadowed way too early
and hammered into our heads long afterwards. A few others were utterly unbelieveable.
Spoiler:Sure, there is simply no way to tell the difference between the political speech and common people talking. New York is a scary place to live, if its police is that bright.
The visual side was great (the setting somehow looked both realistic and larger-than-life; nice effect, that), so was the occasional humour, and you can't go wrong with Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster (although she wasn't at her best - maybe because her character didn't have anything to do in the movie). But the script could have used
serious re-working.
