how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 35 comments (33 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 12 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“My only complaints would be the final 20 minutes falters in pacing a little as it attempts to tie all the threads together”

“seems to suffer from that classic third act slog that befalls so many other decent movies”

“first half of the movie was boring to me”

“I also didn't like the end. It didn't feel like an ending, it would have been more satisfying if we were shown what happened to the other characters.”

“Had me guessing how it would turn out right until the very end.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The thrills in Spike Lee's singularly savvy thriller are in small unexpected moments.”
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“The jazzish score, by Lee's music man, Terence Blanchard, is typically intrusive. But the mood is right, the twists are new. And with one casting inspiration, Inside Man furthers the rising stardom of Chiwetel Ejiofor (Serenity).”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 91
“This is the mother lode all action/suspense directors search for and Lee, who usually doesn't work in that genre, has hit it.”
Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter · 90
“A superior nail-biter.”
J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader · 90
“As with all of Lee's films, there's much more going on beneath the surface than is immediately apparent.”
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle · 89

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“As heist films go, this isn't at all bad. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's "Det. Frazier" keep the drama going and although quite few, the twists do keep you guessing. Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer appear sparingly, but they contribute quite substantially to the rather more evil and interesting sub-plot - despite the presence of the unusually stolid Clive Owen whose role as "Russell" is pivotal to the accruing sense of peril and cleverly planned mischief.
