Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Inside Man shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Inside Man offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Inside Man at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Inside Man? Wrong! If the Inside Man is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Inside Man then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Inside Man? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Inside Man and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Inside Man wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Inside Man then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Inside Man site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Inside Man, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Inside Man, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The film's screenplay is written by Russell Gewirtz and produced by Brian Grazer. It was released in North America and several European markets on March 23 and 24, 2006.

The film was shot on location in New York City and features an expansive and diverse ensemble cast. In addition to being a cerebral action-oriented thriller, the film handles issues of good and evil in unexpected sources, Political corruption, anti-heroes, multiculturalism in United States (and New York City in particular) post-September 11, 2001, and leaves several interpretations of right and wrong open to the audience.

The title comes from several different meanings of the term "inside man", and may be considered a use of wordplay.

Plot Prologue and taking the bank Inside Man opens with a closeup of Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) sitting in confinement, though the location of the cell he is in is not revealed. He muses, to the audience, the difference between a cell and a prison. In a self-important tone, he offers to explain to the viewer his "perfect" plan for a bank robbery.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454848/quotes

The film flashback to the robbers gathering in a van to prepare for the heist. (This begins the timeframe that will carry most of the film; though there are several flash-backs and flash-forwards within). Led by Russell, the robbers enter a bank disguised as painters. They first use infrared flashlights to knock out closed-circuit television. They then brandish firearms and begin taking over the bank. The robbers take the customers and staff hostage within the building. The robbers remove the hostages' keys and cell phones. Although they make numerous death threats to hostages, at this early point in the film they merely beat them severely. The robbers force all of the hostages to don the same clothes as the robbers - hooded coveralls with sunglasses and masks. This makes it difficult to distinguish robber from hostage -- a critical part of the robbers' plan.

Meanwhile, the police show up and surround the bank. Detectives Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) and Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) introduce themselves to Captain Darius (Willem Dafoe) and briefly discuss the situation. The scene then shifts to the office of Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer), the founder of the bank. His assistant informs him of the hostage taking and the location and he is quietly, but deeply, alarmed.

Opening a dialogue with the robbers Back at the bank, Russell requests food for the hostages. The police covert listening device the pizza delivery. Russell anticipates this and plays a recorded speech by former Albanian President Enver Hoxha for them via a digital audio player, sending the police on a humorous wikt:wild-goose chase to find an Albanian translator.

Case walks with power broker Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) at the waterfront and asks White if she can arrange for the contents of his safety deposit box at the bank to remain secret. White assures him she can and Case hires her.

The hostage takers have demanded Frazier provide two buses and a jet. Case arrives at Frazier's Command Post and eagerly offers to arrange the jet, leaving Frazier speechless. Frazier has no intention to provide a plane and it is made clear to the audience that standard procedure is for the police negotiator to feign arranging for a plane as a stalling tactic ("Come on," Frazier says to Russell, "you saw Dog Day Afternoon, you know you're not going to get a plane.").

In Case's service, White meets with a shockingly profane mayor ("You are a magnificent cunt.") to gain permission to enter the crime scene, and manipulates Frazier to let her talk to Russell. When she calls Russell, and mentions the special interests she wants to protect, Russell, who had up to this point deliberately refused to make extended contact with anyone, agrees to talk to her.

Frazier encounters Russell White enters the bank wearing a NYPD jacket and talks to Russell, who reveals Case's secret. When White requests to access the safety deposit box that Case mentioned, Russell shows her (but not the audience) a document that the safety deposit box contained, which the audience is led to understand indicates that Arthur Case, the chairman of the board of directors and founder of the bank, had somehow received money from the Nazis during World War II for unspecified services that resulted in Jewish deaths. We learn Case earned enough to start the bank where the hostage taking has occurred. After assuring Russell that Case will make him a very wealthy man if he is able to escape the bank with this document, White leaves.

Despite Russell's demands, Frazier realizes this is not a typical hostage situation/bank robbery. As the police consistently stall for more time, Russell continues to extend the deadline. Frazier realizes that it's Russell that has been stalling the police, not vice versa. Attempting a bluff, Frazier tells Russell that his plane is ready but he needs to know that all the hostages are safe before he can let them leave. Russell allows him to enter the bank, and Frazier is taken on a tour of the building and checks all the hostages. Upon exiting the bank, Frazier suddenly attempts to aggressively overpower Russell, only to fail when another robber comes to Russell's aid. Intriguingly, Russell still lets Frazier leave unharmed with seemingly no repercussion for his attack. Frazier takes notice of this.

As their tactical followup, the robbers call and direct the police to point their cameras to a specific window on the second floor, where they show the execution of one of the hostages. An enraged Frazier confronts Russell again, demanding to know their true intentions. He tells them that they never really wanted a plane in the first place, and that "you've got everybody marching to your beat, including me, and I'm through buyin' it." Russell simply replies that Frazier is "too damn smart to be a police officer" and closes the door on him.

An end to the crisis The hostage execution prompts the New York City Police Department#Emergency Service Unit team into action, and they plan to raid the building. Since they cannot tell hostage from robber, they decide to use rubber bullets to simply knock everyone out.

Frazier later speaks to the cop who initially reported the robbery, asking him to tell the story about the time a twelve year-old stuck a gun at him. The cop tells the story using racism slang, which Frazier (who is African American) tells him to tone down. After the story, the cop apologizes, saying that he should "watch what he says, because you never know who's listening." It suddenly dawns on Frazier that the written message Russell had initially sent out (and brought to the police command center) could have been bugged. He rushes into the command center and finds the written message, rips it apart, and indeed finds a transmitter. He orders Captain John Darius (Willem Dafoe), in command of the police on the scene, to recall his men, but Darius ignores him.

Inside the bank, Russell hears the conversation between Darius and Frazier and is alarmed that the police plan to move in. Before the police can storm the bank, the robbers detonate smoke bombs throughout the bank. A horde of identically dressed robbers and hostages burst out of the bank through the smoke, in a mass of confusion. The police detain and interrogate everyone, but during the robbery, all the robbers (except Russell) had feigned to be hostages at one point, each of them making a scene so that the true hostages would incorrectly identify them as hostages. Thus, during Frazier's interrogations, he could not single out any robbers amongst them. However, as Frazier had met Russell personally, he knew that he was missing. Russell apparently did not leave the bank with the others, but a search of the building revealed nothing as well. The end result: a perfect crime; no money missing, no people killed or seriously injured (it was discovered that the hostage execution was faked) and no "robbers" found; even the weapons the robbers left behind were merely toy replicas—it was as if the incident never occurred. As such, Frazier's boss tells him to bury the case.

Frazier keeps looking Frazier refuses, and looking through the bank's records, finds that a certain safety deposit box never appeared on any records since the bank's founding. He obtains a search warrant from a judge to open it. He is then confronted by White, who informs him of Case's dealings with the Nazis. She quotes Baron Rothschild family, "When there's blood on the streets, buy property." She also tries to convince Frazier to drop his investigation, reminding him that she has held up her end of her deal with him (guaranteeing he would be promoted, and returning money he was implicated in stealing prior to the events of the movie). He refuses again, and points out there was no deal that he agreed to. He then pulls out the James Bond-style recording pen which an officer had showed him earlier, and plays the conversation which took place in the car. In the recorded conversation, White and the Mayor told Frazier that he has no choice but to assist them because of the cash missing in the previous case. Frazier said that he doesn't need help with that, because he is innocent. White then said it does not matter if he's innocent or not, he'll go down for it anyway.

White confronts Case about dealings with the Nazis, in which he confesses everything to her. He also reveals that the safe contained diamonds, including a Cartier ring, belonging to a Jewish friend whom he allowed to die at the hands of the Nazis in exchange for money. He is remorseful for what he did, and had thus led a life of philanthropy and humanitarianism to try to assuage his guilt. He offers her a check for her services, and it appears that he expects her to condemn him for his actions. She says that she's currently helping the nephew of Osama bin Laden acquire a co-op in New York City, and so is hardly in a position to take a moral high ground. Case retorts that he doesn't believe her for she wouldn't have told him if it were true. As White walks away she smugly replies, "We're listing you as a reference" to an enraged Case.

Revealing the major plot twist It is then revealed that Russell hid himself behind a fake wall erected inside the supply room (literally, the "inside man"). At the beginning of the movie, Russell narrates from the space behind the fake wall, which at first appeared to be a prison cell. He emerges a week after the "robbery" was committed. As he does so, he deliberately bumps into Frazier, who does not recognize him, and they exchange brief apologetic words. Russell is picked up by his associates, and is presumably never caught. (Russell's associates -- who are revealed to include a Jewish expert on The Holocaust -- pick him up in an expensive Volkswagen SUV, which some viewers note as a possible reference to the protagonists' subtle triumph over Nazism.) Russell's associates ask him for the ring, and Russell reveals it is in safer hands - Frazier's.

Frazier opens the safety deposit box to find a single diamond ring, a pack of gum (that Russell had offered to him when they met during the bank robbery, as a sign for Frazier that he was already in the safe deposit box), and a message, "Follow the ring." He interprets this as Russell's desires for him to continue the case. He confronts Arthur Case, where he shows him the ring, and informs him of his desire to investigate it. Then he barges in on a lunch that White and the mayor are having, indicating that he had discovered the ring was linked to a wealthy Jew who had died in a concentration camp, making it very incriminating to Case. He offers White the pen with the recording, and gives her a card to have the Office of War Crimes Issues at the U.S. State Department look into the situation. White notes that Frazier probably made copies, but it's clear she'll assist him. Frazier then leaves with the ring.

Epilogue Frazier, in his brief encounter with Russell, had mentioned his girlfriend: specifically, that he wanted to propose to her but did not have the financial means of buying a ring. Russell replied that if he loves her, money should not matter. After his final encounter with White, Frazier goes home and finds a diamond in one of his pockets. He then realizes that it was dropped there by the man he bumped into in the bank, and that Russell was that man. Frazier chuckles, and as the film fades to black, we are left to presume Frazier will offer the diamond in a marriage proposal to his girlfriend.

Note on intercut and time-shifted scenes The main timeline of the story, throughout the course of the film, is intercut with flashforwards to the debriefing and interrogation of freed hostages (and the intermingled conspirators) under the scrutiny of Frazier and Mitchell. Frazier and Mitchell are forced to treat all of the freed hostages as potential suspects, and this contributes to the tension (and associated comic relief) of these scenes. These scenes are delineated from the main timeline by the use of sepia tone photography. They illustrate Frazier's and Mitchell's necessarily unique interrogation methods, exacted on both hostages and robbers, since it is their goal to determine who among the hostages are actually robbers.

    Sequel Spike Lee and Brian Grazer are developing a sequel to "Inside Man". Lee is still in negotiations on a helming deal for the project, but he's already working with the original's writer, Russell Gewirtz, on a script. For now, the pair are keeping their sequel concept under wraps, including whether it would involve the return of the original's main characters, played by Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster.
