About the movie

One of the amazing thing about this movie is that, the movie starts with "Chaiya Chaiya...." for Dil Se and this song comes and it perfectly matches the artists introductions and also during this job they show how a group of robbers plans and comes to to rob a bank.

And also when the film moves very fast the detective will interrogate with the hostages so as to find the real person who has involved in this robbery attempt.The screenplay is very good in this movie and it makes us very eager to know the next scene.

The film starts when Dalton Russell, who was in a confined cell says his name and asks him to listen very carefully, as he won't repeat again.After that he begins to narrate how a group of his men plans to rob a bank and he often describes that this as the "PERFECT BANK ROBBERY".Many of us would confuse whether he narrates inside a cell or prison, because that place is very small and resembles a prison.

After that in the flash back, a group of robbers dressed as painters plans and they start to their destination,i.e, the bank and this happens during the opening credits of the characters,(when the names of the characters are displayed) and during this our Indian song "Chaiya Chaiya..." makes the scene extremely good to watch.

When the group enters the bank they disables the security cameras and after that they take all the staffs, customers to the basement of the bank and they ask them to give all the keys and cell phones.But during this one of the bank employees, named Peter Hammond tries to hide the cell but the robbers manage to find this and he was beaten.

After getting all the properties of the hostage, the robbers asks all the hostages to change their dress into painter uniforms and also to cover their faces using kerchiefs so that all the hostages resembles the robber, because now all wear same uniform and the main reason for this is that it would be difficult for the police to identify the exact robbers.

After this the robbers started to execute their plan and as a part of their plan they lock the hostages in different rooms, and also they shifted them periodically and introducing the robbers and during this operation they also made one of their member to sit along with the hostage.The robbers demand that they need a plane.

After some times a police officer who was passing that side found that the bank was robbed and he informs the police department and as a result of this the police arrives surround the bank.Meanwhile two detectives Keith Frazier and Bill Mitchell comes to the location and they introduce themselves to the police.

At this point of time Arthur Case who is the chairman of the board of directors and also founder of the bank, asks Madeleine White to ensure that the contents of his safe deposit box at the bank to remain secret.Meanwhile Frazier suspects that Russels's intention was not to rob the bank but he may plan something different.

Frazier also calls Russel and says that he might need some time to organise the plane so that he could find the actual plan of Russel. Russell also trusts him and he test Frazier by asking him a question and he also asks for the cops to bring sandwiches, rather than pizza, to lessen the chances of bugging the containers.

After that White gets permission from the Mayor to speak with the Russel and after meeting Russel she requests access to the safe deposit box. So Russell shows a document that contains Swastika Symbol, and he also said that Arthur might have got huge amount of money from the Germans during the World War 2 for unspecified services that resulted in Jewish deaths.

It was at this time Russell reveals his motivation,and says that

"All lies they stink, you can cover them up for a while but they don't go away."

But white assures that he will help Russel to get out of the bank with huge amount, if he gives  the document.Meanwhile Frazier says that he wants to check the hostage conditions and Russel also gives permission to Frazier to come to the Bank and see the condition of hostages.

During this time Russel drops the ring into the Frazier's pocket,which he found in the Case's box, when Frazier was informing Russel that he was going to propose a girl next week.

After checking the condition of hostages and when Frazier was about to leave the bank, Frazier attempts to overpower Russell, only to fail when another robber comes to Russell's aid.

But Russell doesn't hurt Frazier and he leaves him unharmed.Later when Frazier meets his colleagues, he said that he intentionally tried to provoke Russell, so as to understand the intention of the the Robbers and he finds that they were not killers and he is confident hat he might have some other plan behind this bank robbery.

After some time Frazier and his team was shocked to see a transmitter which helped Russel and others to get the information regarding what were discussing in that room and what would be the next step of the Police.

Mean while the robbers detonate the smoke bombs throughout the bank and they also released the hostages,and all the robbers except Russel came along with the hostages.

As all of them were dressed as painters the police was confused and they start to interrogate with everyone, but they failed to recognize anyone.In this robbery attempt no money was stolen and no people were killed and Frazier finds that this was a fake robbery attempt.

The police were also shocked to see that the guns used by the robbers were merely toys and Frazier finds that safe deposit box No.392 has never appeared on any records since the bank's founding in 1948,while he was searching for the documents.

So Russel was missing and everyone was very eager to find where Russel would be and later in the film it is revealed that Russell was hifing behind a fake wall, which they erected inside the supply room, with the help of multi-skilled thugs and this is the meaning of the movie Inside Man and it was form this place he was narrating the story at the beginning

After one week he comes out of the supply room  and he joins his associates and mean while Frazier opens the safe deposit box after getting the warrant form the judge and he founds it was written as "Follow the ring." and with the help of White he manages to get the information form Case as Frazier gave a recording pen that has recorded all the conversation.

It was during the second world war Case betrayed a Jewish friend to Nazi and gets that diamond ring. At last when Frazier goes home and he finds a loose one-carat diamond in his pocket and he realizes that it would have been dropped by Russel when he met him in the bank and at the end of the movie he proposes his girlfriend using the diamond.
