Why I don’t plan to see Inside Man

Pajiba sums it up pretty well with this sentence:

Washington is in fine form here, though it’s a role he could do in his sleep: smart cop, full of righteous fury, good guy but no angel, willing to buck the system to get his man, etc

Washington has been held up in role after role as this one-step-above-the-rest black man. He has become the Super-Duper Magical Negro of Hollywood.
