Review of Inception (2010) by Midlands M — 10 May 2014
One of the films in my own top ten of all time, Nolan's Inception was made between his Batman films and showcases an intelligent and mind-bending script that sees Leonardo DiCaprio and his team enter dreams (and dreams within dreams) to plant an idea into the mind of a corporate rival.
Essentially a mix of heist film with touches of Bond (the snow scenes especially), Nolan doesn't insult his audience with easy answers but provides them with a perplexing puzzle and structures his music and editing around the confusing nature of dreams, time and film-making itself.
With a cast of Nolan regulars (Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy and Marion Cotillard) providing support to explain the film's trickier concepts, Nolan doesn't forget the big set pieces including bending cityscapes, car chases, explosive shootouts and the most amazing rotating corridor fist fight in this must-see multi-layered movie.
