Clockers (1995)
Directed by Spike Lee
Strike is a young city drug pusher under the tutelage of drug lord Rodney Little. When a night manager at a fast-food restaurant is found with four bullets in his body, Strike’s older brother turns himself in as the killer. Detective Rocco Klein doesn’t buy the story, however, setting out to find the truth, and it seems that all the fingers point toward Strike & Rodney.

What critics compared Clockers to
Meirelles uses cinematic tricks and styles from films as disparate as "The Matrix" to Spike Lee's "Clockers" to tell his tale.
He spends some time with a couple of the hostages (mostly to beat on them and impress them with his virtuosity: "Anyone else here smarter than me?"), in particular, a small boy who plays a handheld video game, "Kill Dat Nigga" (the visual and plot basics recall the game in Clockers).
But Inside Man is nothing less than a Spike Lee joint, a well-mannered older brother to his uneven Clockers (1995).
