 Flipside Movie Emporium: Inside Man Movie Review
The bulk of Inside Man is an extended battle of wits between Russell -- holed up in his target with several cohorts and forty-odd hostages -- and Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) heading the contingent of cops and SWAT team snipers outside.
When the police arrive, Russell seems intent on stalling for time, cunningly setting them after their own tails while his associates...
Lee and screenwriter Russell Gerwitz coat it with a pointed sense of humor, stressing the foibles of the various figures on-screen and allowing Owen to apply an impressively deadpan wit.

Owen's pilots license had been revoked two years earlier the government claimed and a treaty with Canada prevented the U.S. from allowing a non-licensed pilot to fly over that country.

 Inside Man movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
Dalton Russell (Owen) is committing the perfect crime, an immaculately planned heist in a major Wall Street bank that involves locking the doors with some 50 hostages inside.
On the flipside of the case, master bank robber Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) has a master plan to pull off the perfect crime and that’s all the audience really knows about Russell is that he has a plan and he is a very smooth operator.
Owen’s robber is so full of perfect execution, arrogance and vigor that at times you are never sure if this man is human.

 Tim Spanburg: Inside Man...
This sets in motion a plan that Dalton Russell (Owen) calls "the perfect bank robbery." However, this is not a bank robbery because the robbers are not after the cash, the bank vault, or any valuables.
Madeline White (Foster) does not care what Russell has on Case, Case has paid her to protect his interests, and because of that, she does not care what he is guilty of, she got paid.
Russell is not robbing Case to bring good to others (which would still not justify his actions); he is robbing Case to get rich, even though there are times throughout the movie where Russell speaks out against riches and being concerned about money.

At the age of seventeen Mary Owen "Polly" Todd married a handsome foreigner, James Russell, in 1799, and they lived in a log house near a pond off the Boonesborough Road, a half-mile east of her mother's cabin at the "Mansfield" tract.
She said that after Russell and his wife built the double hewn log house, they improved the pond and its environs for rowing and the view.
John Russell [her son] was sent to college at Eton or Princeton, and his mother and grand-mother, living together, improved the grounds slowly; but as much as would abundantly supply their own wants, as to vegetables and fruits.

 Chico News and Review March 30, 2006
And the multiply-twisted plot yields up juicy offbeat roles for Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer and Clive Owen, each of whom plays one of the several variously conflicted antagonists in the tale.
The central premise involves a combination bank-heist and hostage crisis, with Washington playing the freewheeling NYPD hostage negotiator who is called in to take charge.
Owen makes an intriguingly ambiguous villain, and Foster's steely performance adds much to the film's conning-the-con-man psychology.

 Offscreen :: David Owen Russell’s I ♥ Huckabees   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Russell studied with novelist Mary Gordon at Amherst, and he has said that he admires writers Robert Stone and Thomas Pynchon and the film director Luis Buñuel.
Russell gives us a loving couple, one other than expected, Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman as existential detectives and teachers; they are married, middle-age, and share work and significant spiritual ideas.
, like Russell’s other films, is furiously active, bordering on unhinged, and its farcical tone proves ideally suited to philosophical striving: The movie acknowledges that to undertake such a quest is often to risk ridicule, even as it reconnects existentialism to a rich tradition of absurdity.

We start off with Owen’s Dalton Russell and his masked gang of three walking in a bank by New York’s Wall Street and holding everyone hostage, taking their cell phones and having them strip off their clothes to wear the same the clothes as the bank robbers.
While Russell has yet to make his demands, the owner of the bank (Plummer) contacts a mysterious power broker, Madeliene White, to help him protect some valuable and confidential assets that he fears may harm his career if the contents were known.
Owen is very defining as the bank robber.

 CapeWeek: Arts & Entertainment for Cape Cod & the Islands | Movies
By having Frazier say these words, director Lee and first-time screenwriter Russell Gewirtz acknowledge that Frazier is smart, that he knows Russell is smart, and that the filmmakers think we're smart.
Similarly, Owen makes us believe that Russell, also a cool customer (''My friends and I are making a very large withdrawal from the bank'' he announces as the holdup begins), is sophisticated enough to execute the perfect crime.
To contrast with the Owen and Foster characters, Washington plays Frazier as more emotional and less self-assured than they are, yet he effectively projects the determination, mental toughness and powers of perception that make Frazier a worthy adversary for either of them.

Clive Owen has been anchoring movies for several years, but he hasn't reached the level on which producers will hang a film on his name alone.
Digging too deeply into their characters would reveal plot points that are better left unstated, but both actors are a treat.
Ultimately, however, it's Washington and Owen who make the picture move, and Lee gives them plenty of time to strut their stuff.

Orchestrating a heist of complex simplicity, Russell leads three others in taking over Manhattan Trust bank in the middle of the day, dressed - and dressing their fifty hostages - in similar hooded, scarflike-masked disguises.
What unfolds is a three-way cat and mouse game between Russell, Frazier, and White (sounds like an all-time starting lineup for the Knicks) where the rules keep changing but the (mental) games keep playing.
Clive Owen, also preternaturally cool, is in complete command, just like his elegant, calm thief of a character.

 4 Letters from Liberia to Kentucky; Milly Crawford on her journey from Lexington, Kentucky, March 10, 1833
Robert Wickliffe of Lexington, Kentucky, was the second husband of Mary Owen Todd Russell, the rich heiress of the frontiersman, Col. John Todd.
According to Lexington gossip (started by Robert S. Todd and publically exposed in a pamphlet by his cousin, Robert J. Breckinridge), Milly was the octoroon lover of Mary Owen Todd Russell's son, John Russell, who was visiting his grandmother in the summer while on vacation from Princeton.
The boy was named Alfred, and sold to Mrs Polly along with his mother when he was "10 or 12 years of age" according to the 1825 deed.

 The Popcorn Chronicles
Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) looks straight into the camera and announces that he intends to commit the perfect bank robbery.
Gewirtz’s script manages to split the focus between Clive Owen and his crew inside the bank and Denzel Washington and the cops outside as they martial their forces to try to determine what they are dealing with.
Although Clive Owen makes an engaging bank robber, it’s hard to connect with a guy who spends most of the film costumed like a masked auto mechanic gone wrong.

 Inside Man: Movie Review
As Dalton Russell (Owen) explains his involvement and motivation for the robbery, he does an effective job of sucking the audience into the story.
Dalton Russell is the type of criminal commonly seen in movies who’s so smart that he has all of his tracks covered, is three steps ahead of the cops, and whose schemes all work to perfection.
Frazier begins to believe that Russell isn’t a violent man with any intentions of killing hostages, but is rather robbing the bank for a specific purpose.
