Has anybody seen Inside Man, the latest Spike Lee joint?

I'm curious if we can make an argument by putting some pressure on the term 'cell,' as used by Dalton Russell, the bank robber played by Clive Owens. As you might remember, Russell opens and closes the film with a line to the effect of "The Where can most readily be described as a prison cell. But there is a vast difference from being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison." The pun here (spoiler coming) is that you're led to believe he's been imprisoned, only to find later that he's been hiding out for a week in a narrow cavity within the very bank he robbed.


But there seems to be another sense of 'cell' at play here, and one that requires some extratextual imputation. We find that Russell has pulled off the heist with a crew of 4 or 5 confederates--among them an older Rabbi. But they don't take a cent from the bank, instead stealing only a swastika-laden document that proves that the bank's owner got rich off unseemly relationships with the Nazis. We can assume that Russell & co have invested a hefty sum in the heist operation, and they certainly don't recoup any of that money from the bank. So one has to wonder if an outside party fronted the set-up money, and if so, what kind of organization would be interested in revealing the Nazi history of a prominent American banker?

What I'm getting at here is that Russell might well be the leader of some kind of cell for an Israeli agency or some similar organization. Is that reasonable, or have I just been thinking about the Israeli-cell-structure- to-defeat-the-terrorists'-cell-structures element of Munich too much?
