I am a big fan of this one. Glad you guys watched this one. One of my fave all-time parts is when they were interrogating the women and their eyes kept dropping….even after called out. 😂😂😂
One of my all time favorite crime thrillers, beautifully directed by Spike Lee! Denzel Washington and Clive Owen give incredible performances, and Clive’s Dalton Russell is so fun to watch. The monologue he gives at the beginning of the movie is forever burned into my head, because of the brilliant layers to it. And honestly, if I were a cop, I’d probably let them get away with it. Not only did this case lead to the takedown of a war criminal, but no one got killed and the only thing that was stolen was the blood diamonds. Also I freaking loved the kid who was my age at the time when I saw it, “Nah, I’m from Brooklyn”🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This movie came out of nowhere. When this came out, no one knew it was coming. It was just released with little to no promos. It surprised everyone and everyone I knew who saw it, loved it. Great underrated movie.
You gotta do the Denzel Washington/Tony Scott collection! Martin Scorsese had Robert DeNiro. Then he had Leo. Quentin has Sam Jackson. PTA and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Alfred Hitchcock and James Stewart. Well Tony Scott picked Denzel as his multi-film collaborator. FIVE films, to be exact! EVERY ONE a banger!
The "asshole" who took off his mask was in the passenger seat behind the driver in the black car. He was also shown by the window on the bus. He was also shown in the storeroom helping put the false wall together, his face all bruised from the cover story beating. The actor is James Ransone, who plays Cpl. Josh Ray Pearson in Generation Kill... which i highly recommend, even if you don't do it as a reaction series.
The motivation for Clive Owen's character taking the diamonds was he (or the other people in the SUV in the end) were related to the Jewish family that Glenn Plummer's character stole them from. Fyi, the phone you was trying to figure out the name of was the Sidekick 😊.
Toward the end, talking about the guy who took off his mask, was mouthing off, and got beat up was, indeed, one of the robbers. Additionally, one thing that yall didn't seem to spot (or at least comment on until the VERY end) is the fact that there was a bank employee working with the robbers (hence the title "Inside Man"). Their inside man also explains why the information about the diamonds and documents got leaked. The inside man was the Jewish "rabbi." They don't give the rabbi away until you see him in the van at the end with all the other robbers.
American Gangster is amazing, so is Training Day. Y'all should also watch John Q which Denzel should have gotten nominated for, but i guess you can say that about many of his movies. Antwone Fisher is a Denzel movie where he's not the main character (supporting role), but one that i think y'all would love and make you cry, and not many reactors have seen it
On a total side note.. when i asked.. the pizza guy said.. the tiny “table” in the middle of the pizza.. 🍕 is to hold the middle of the box up.. steam from the hot pizza makes the cardboard sag.. the tiny table saves the toppings from attaching to the box.. now all you pizza lovers learned something new lol 😎
Oh My God! For fans of AMA this must be a dream come true! Finally some of the bigger reaction channels picking up on awesome overlooked action thrillers or bank heist movies like this one. First The Equalizer (2014), then Law Abiding Citizen (2009), now Inside Man (2006)! But I can tell you, there are SO MANY more similar movies starring ALL RECOGNIZABLE NAMES, some directed by Antoine Fuqua, some by David Ayer. I've got plenty of examples like: Swordfish (2001) starring Hugh Jackman, Phone Booth (2002) starring Colin Farrell, S.W.A.T. (2003) with Jeremy Renner but also plenty of others, Out of Time (2003) starring Denzel Washington, Cellular (2004) starring Chris Evans, Harsh Times (2005) starring Christian Bale, Hostage (2005) starring Bruce Willis, Shooter (2007) starring Mark Wahlberg, Vantage Point (2008) with Matthew Fox but also plenty of others, Street Kings (2008) (very rough) starring Keanu Reeves and also Chris Evans, Safe House (2012) starring Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington! Actually a decent financial hit! More bank heist: Takers (2010) starring Idris Elba, Man on a Ledge (2012) starring Sam Worthington, Stolen (2012) starring Nicolas Cage. And MANY more like you could Imagine!
14:32 "I never knew what their purpose was for." Without them, if the box lid gets pressed down, the cheese and toppings get stuck to the cardboard and get torn off of the pizza when you open the box.
One of my favorites, and seriously underrated and movie. Insanely good cast as well. I’ve always liked Clive Owen’s work and another one of his to consider is Derailed.
Those little “tables” in pizza boxes are to keep the lid from pressing down into the pizza if something is stacked on the box. Some folks also use them to help separate the pieces, but the box thing is what they’re designed to do.
Trying to ignore the big boobs would be like trying to ignore one of the hostage takers was seven feet tall. They’re a physical characteristic. One of my best friends told me I need more sun, because I’m whiter than a fishes belly. A physical characteristic just like her having brown skin. It would be wrong to say we don’t notice these things. Big boobs doesn’t mean their owner has been sexually objectified, and white skin isn’t racist abuse when it’s from a girl who to all intents and purposes adopted me as a father.
summer of sam was a masterpiece..... 25th is a powerfull film... they just dont make normal movies like that with great stories drama and actors... just garbage recycled woke stuff or comic movies or yet another horror supernatural reboot ... hollywood for the past 56 years has been going down such a drane...
Funny how 2006 is mentioned like it was a lifetime ago. Amazon branched out to sell basically "everything" several years before then. When interrogating the Sikh, Denzel Washington ad-libbed the line about how he doesn't have trouble hailing a taxi, and Spike Lee immediately laughed out loud, almost ruining the take so he had to cut the shot right after he said it. He mentions this in the commentary track. This movie was very uncharacteristic of Spike Lee's most popular work but his trademarks are all over it, in cinematography, dialogue and that discussion about the video game. The pizza boxes that were delivered had "Sal's" on it, the pizzeria from "Do the Right Thing," as if Sal moved from to Manhattan from Brooklyn.
This is one of my all time favourite films. Clive Owen (Dalton Russell, AKA Mr. Bank Robber) is a very underrated actor. I have enjoyed everything of his that I've seen, and his involvement with this film is why I initially watched it. Typically speaking I hate heist films, but I really love this one. As for the perfect plan, There were five people involved. These were, Dalton Russell. AKA Mr. Bank Robber. (Clive Owen). Valerie Keepsake. AKA Stevie. (Kim Director). Darius Peltz. AKA Steve-O. (James Ransome). Kenneth Damerjian. AKA Steve. (Carlos Andrés Gómez). Chaim, The older Jewish Gentleman. (Bernie Rachelle). He is the inside man. Russell had each of his people take turns posing as hostages. This was so that legitimate hostages would vouch for them once the police came in. When one was in with the hostages, Chaim would stand in as a guy in the background, maintaining the illusion that there were always four robbers. This is why they were always shuffling some hostages from room to room. This would let then swap in their people, and switch them out again. If you pay attention during the fake execution there are the four robbers and one hostage on the screen, meaning that all five of the robbers were involved in creating this illusion. However there are about nine people in paintersuits om the camera. As far as everyone, both inside and outside the bank, knows, Dalton just executed a hostage. Now those inside are going to be more compliant, as the stakes have just been raised. It's no longer robbery, but homicide. Russell just needs a little time to finish his hidey hole. The reason for removing everyones clothes was so that any evidence that got on just the paintersuits. By manhandling the hostages during room transfers, this would cause transfer from one paintersuit to another of any evidence. Their own clothes were in the beg with everyone elses clothes. Their phones were with everyone elses. The hole was so that they could hook up water and power into Russell's hideout. As well as serve as a toilet for Russell, what goes in must come out. With the diamonds, and documents secured, Russell goes into hiding. His team then walks out the front door, along with the hostages. As each of his team members have been seen by several hostages and also can vouch for each other, they all now have alibis as hostages. Russell has the documents to ensure that Case will do all he can to protect him should he face a judge. One of the interesting things about this film is that Frazier (Denzel Washington) spends half the film protesting that he's not corrupt, but tthen at the end keeps the diamond. This, plus the promotion, are all to ensure his silence, but from different parties. So, Frazier is corrupt. He may not have stolen the $140K that he was being investigated for, but he'll look the other way, and profit, on this one.
The diamonds have nothing to do with Arthur’s war crimes. They are his diamonds that he keeps in his safety deposit box. The reason he kept the ring and the incriminating Nazi documents is because he felt guilty for collaborating and being part of the Nazi’s reign of terror in Europe. He kept them as a reminder of what he did and as motivation to do as much good as he could afterward with charities.
Loved that yer checking this one out, it rarely gets a viewing; lotsa cool n quirky characters. Glad you'll be doing American Gangster, it's a Ridley Scott tour de force for sure. And as long as you'll be doing more Denzel flicks, I hope you try Deja Vu, that's a fun one as well.
The beer is a fictional Beer that spike uses in his movies. It’s a play on Malt Liquor. The pizza was from “Sals Famous Pizzeria”. Which is a fictional pizza shop form Spikes movie “Do the right thing”. Both are parts of Spikes cinematic universe
not sure if y'all are still interested in world war II related movies but windtalkers is a good one it features Nicolas Cage and Adam Beach and revolves around how the Navajo language was used to speak in code. I personally highly recommend it.
You are probably still confused from playing detective in your head the whole movie instead of just absorbing the information as it was presented and then worked it out at the end, you turned your head into a jumbled, blended mess😂 just breathe, relax and absorb (wax on wax off😂😂)grasshopper ❤❤❤❤ This was a blast, as always, thanks you two.
I’m so happy you watched this. Not many channels have picked up on how good this movie is. I absolutely adore your channel. I really enjoyed your reaction and commentary as always. Thank you! Jodie Foster steals this movie from the GOAT Denzel Washington!
Crimson Tide and Glory. Both fantastic Denzel movies. Glory is more ensemble (I think he's billed third or fourth) but it was an important early role for him.
A real blast from the past hell yea! I love this movie. THank you for reacting to it. Also, it's beyond me how ANYBODY was able to remember the girl's eye color haha
14:30 those "tables" are in the pizza box to keep the top of the box from touching the pizza and getting the cheeses stuck to the top of the box . Its mostly for cheap pizza boxes. I havent seen them since i was a kid.. guess the pizza boxes are stronger now
the tables in pizza boxes were to help hold the box up from the pizza in case something got set on top of the box. especially the weight of other pizza filled boxes. A personal recommendation from me is After the Sunset. it basically goes what happens after a successful heist movie?! For me it was a lot of fun.
The phrase "Murder will Out" is from the Russian Novel 'Crime and Punishment', written by Dostoevsky and published in 1866. Every Ivy league college graduate has to have read that Novel, along with a few of us peasants. A little trivia on that - the Television Series Columbo from t he 1970's was based upon the detective that solved the double murder that the Novel portrays. it's 484 pages long, but worth the read. By the way, this comment is from a Computer Engineer that almost flunked out of Middle School because a below-average reading level. We all have to eventually face our weaknesses.
The "table" keeps the box from being squashed into the cheese/sauce and "ruining" the pizza, and it also keeps it from completely falling against the top if the box is flipped. Isn't it obvious? How would the cop return the diamond? It would simply go to the State or worse.
Great pick - this one is completely ignored by most reactors and it's a brilliant movie. Funny and clever too with amazing performances Probably one of Spike Lee's best.
14:29 - That little table is so the top of the pizza box doesn't sink in and get the cheese all stuck to the top inside of the box. Problem with big pies and cheaper boxes especially.
"Inside Man" is also about New Yorkers, it's diversity and attitudes. The Grand Central question is very real! Another good Spike Lee joint is "Da 5 Bloods." It was one of Chadwick Boseman's final performances. Another underrated Denzel movie (imo) is "The Bone Collector." It's got Angelina Jolie in it. Another New York state of mind (among crooks) is stealing from the rich and keeping it. Cox comb or crown is whats on a roosters head.
This is one of my faves, strong performances throughout. A really good heist/caper movie. And the re-watch bonus factor is high; there's enough foreshadowing to tell you most of what you need to know. Like, "Perfectly Planned Painting. We NEVER Leave Until The Job Is Done." And the Jewish guy (seen in the SUV when Dalton finally emerges) is implied to be behind the heist; so there's implied "Jewish-Revenge-Against-Nazis" angle. The one major plot hole (correctly pointed out) was Case hanging onto major criminal evidence in a safe deposit box for decades.
I think the diamonds were just loose diamonds like ones removed from ring settings so they were untraceable so I don't think they would be able to return them anyway.
I don't recall the diamonds being related to banker's history, just the ring and the document, but it's been a long time since I watched this movie. There was at some point talk of a sequel for this, but I don't know what happened with that, probably a casualty of covid.
Funny thing about central european languages they theorized about - albanian, polish and hungarian are as close and similar to each other, as they are to english. Actually, polish or albanian are closer to english, than to hungarian, which is not even indo-european language. Relative geographic proximity doesn't corespondent with linguistic one. And anyone who actually heard those languages and has basic understanding of linguistics can easily say they don't sound similar.
The stolen diamonds at the end have an insurance...or the bank who is the one who "lost" them has to pay the owne, which means the bad old bank guy loses some money...ergo the cop can keep his diamond

Awesome movie
Training day is a very good one
Fallen is a Denzel Washington movie that's rarely mentioned
The "table" in the pizza box is to prevent the box from drooping on to the pizza.
The plastic thing in pizza boxes is there to keep the box from being pressed into the pizza.
I used to deliver for Pizza Hut, we referred to them as "Barbie tables".
@@BigDave423 Very fitting because my friends and I used them as tables for our Barbies. 😂

This. 100% this.
This is one of my favorite Denzel Washington movies and glad someone reacted to it
Same for me.
Same! Absolutely one of my favorite Spike Lee movies too - such a great post-9/11 movie, so well done.
The Jewish man in the car at the end paid the robbers to steal the diamonds and the ring back.
That man must have tracked the diamonds from the various Jewish families in Europe and linked them to Arthur Case. Probably years of work.
One of the most underrated movies ever.
Foster's slick performance as "fixer" Madeleine White adds to the intrigue and suspense, along with the supporting characters.
it definitely takes it from a more casual (if well done) heist movie to something more unique.
Foster's character reminds me of Olivia Pope.
"Crimson Tide" is another great classic Denzel film, and with Gene Hackman.
Stellar performances from Gene and Denzel.
Fallen is a fantastic Denzel movie with a really good storyline.
I love 'Fallen', such a good movie.
"Tiiiime..... is on my side... yes it is.."
@leroyd
With John Goodman. Yeah, 'really cool movie -
@Blue
Also, Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) have roles.

Another great Denzel movie is Deja Vu
you should try man on fire its a good movie with dakota fanning and denziel washington
Man On Fire is another good Denzel movie.
The "table" in the middle of the pizza is to keep the cheese from sticking to the top of the pizza box lid. Man on a Ledge is another great movie.

Funny how some movies fly under the radar. 1st John Wick movie, and Affleck's Accountant movie were kind of the same way.
Pizza savers protect pizza from collapsing box lids
Fallen is a personal favourite Denzel movie, highly recommend it.
lets gooooooooooo, finally a reaction to this great movie
seriously!
You gotta do the Denzel Washington/Tony Scott collection!
Martin Scorsese had Robert DeNiro.
Then he had Leo.
Quentin has Sam Jackson.
PTA and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Alfred Hitchcock and James Stewart.
Well Tony Scott picked Denzel as his multi-film collaborator. FIVE films, to be exact! EVERY ONE a banger!
*sweats spinal fluid in hopes of a reaction to Magnolia*
Been waiting for someone to react to this....."Deja vu"-2006 & "Man on Fire"-2004 are really good as well.
The "asshole" who took off his mask was in the passenger seat behind the driver in the black car. He was also shown by the window on the bus.
He was also shown in the storeroom helping put the false wall together, his face all bruised from the cover story beating.
The actor is James Ransone, who plays Cpl. Josh Ray Pearson in Generation Kill... which i highly recommend, even if you don't do it as a reaction series.

The phrase "Murder will Out" is from the Russian Novel 'Crime and Punishment', written by Dostoevsky and published in 1866. Every Ivy league college graduate has to have read that Novel, along with a few of us peasants. A little trivia on that - the Television Series Columbo from t he 1970's was based upon the detective that solved the double murder that the Novel portrays. it's 484 pages long, but worth the read. By the way, this comment is from a Computer Engineer that almost flunked out of Middle School because a below-average reading level. We all have to eventually face our weaknesses.
"Willem Dafoe has aged gracefully" is another way of saying he has looked exactly like a carved tiki statue for 30 + years lol
The Pelican Brief,, Deja vu & Man on Fire unmissable Denzel movies
8:21 RIGHT! 💯 it looks like he hasn't aged since he played in platoon back in the late eighties early nineties whenever that came out... It's crazy
The little "tables" are to keep the cheese from sticking to the top of the box
The "table" keeps the box from being squashed into the cheese/sauce and "ruining" the pizza, and it also keeps it from completely falling against the top if the box is flipped. Isn't it obvious?
How would the cop return the diamond? It would simply go to the State or worse.
14:35 Last time I saw this before she became Janice from Mr Robot. She is quite memorable there
Great pick - this one is completely ignored by most reactors and it's a brilliant movie. Funny and clever too with amazing performances Probably one of Spike Lee's best.
There’s a big difference between a War Criminal and a bank robber.
14:29 - That little table is so the top of the pizza box doesn't sink in and get the cheese all stuck to the top inside of the box. Problem with big pies and cheaper boxes especially.
So glad you watched this awesome heist film!
Pizza tables are for when you have multiple pizzas and you don’t want them crushing your box
They didnt need to take a single dollar…As long as they have that document they can blackmail him for any money they want
"Inside Man" is also about New Yorkers, it's diversity and attitudes. The Grand Central question is very real!
Another good Spike Lee joint is "Da 5 Bloods." It was one of Chadwick Boseman's final performances.
Another underrated Denzel movie (imo) is "The Bone Collector." It's got Angelina Jolie in it.
Another New York state of mind (among crooks) is stealing from the rich and keeping it.
Cox comb or crown is whats on a roosters head.
Training day is going to be your favorite denzel Washington.
This is one of my faves, strong performances throughout. A really good heist/caper movie. And the re-watch bonus factor is high; there's enough foreshadowing to tell you most of what you need to know. Like, "Perfectly Planned Painting. We NEVER Leave Until The Job Is Done." And the Jewish guy (seen in the SUV when Dalton finally emerges) is implied to be behind the heist; so there's implied "Jewish-Revenge-Against-Nazis" angle. The one major plot hole (correctly pointed out) was Case hanging onto major criminal evidence in a safe deposit box for decades.
Fallen with Denzel and John Goodman is worth a reaction
I'm simple man. I see dos cavazos, I click
I think the diamonds were just loose diamonds like ones removed from ring settings so they were untraceable so I don't think they would be able to return them anyway.
I think another underrated heist film similar to this is "The bank job" with Jason Statham.
11:18 ... "What's in the box??!!" "Fallen", "Deja Vu" and "The book of Eli" were pretty cool as well.
"What's in the box?" "What's in the box?" Idk, ask Morgan Freeman.
I don't recall the diamonds being related to banker's history, just the ring and the document, but it's been a long time since I watched this movie. There was at some point talk of a sequel for this, but I don't know what happened with that, probably a casualty of covid.
This movie has a special place in my brain. The female robber "Stevie" is my younger brorher's wife's cousin.
Kacee's in a giant hurry to solve this movie, she must have something she needs to get to 🤔😏😚
Great moive. Love the whole thing even the twist
The biggest twist in the movie was the hole they were digging into the floor
Great movie with a great cast.
Funny thing about central european languages they theorized about - albanian, polish and hungarian are as close and similar to each other, as they are to english. Actually, polish or albanian are closer to english, than to hungarian, which is not even indo-european language. Relative geographic proximity doesn't corespondent with linguistic one. And anyone who actually heard those languages and has basic understanding of linguistics can easily say they don't sound similar.
You have to watch the sequel!!!!!!
The tiny table in the pizza box is for the top of the box doesn’t touch the pizza
The white pizza "tables" keep the lid from touching your cheese.
Oh wow... Haven't seen Training Day, or American Gangster- good choices!!!
Omg, you haven’t seen Training Day, watch that next. I think the movie Glory is his best performance but it is pretty heavy subject matter.
The stolen diamonds at the end have an insurance...or the bank who is the one who "lost" them has to pay the owne, which means the bad old bank guy loses some money...ergo the cop can keep his diamond
I had just watched this movie again last night. I love it so much, please do more Denzel Washington/Spike Lee movies.
Thank you! Nobody ever reacts to this movie!
Awww .....been enjoying her by herself!!! 😢
