Nolan's greatest film, and one of the greatest films of all time

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2010)

After seeing the adverts and reading the summary of the film, I was a little hesitant of how the film would turn out. I can safely say that all doubt was quickly subdued and with out spoiling anything let me just tell you that it all works perfectly, but it goes with out saying that you will NEED to concentrate otherwise run the risk of missing important information.
the acting in this film was all round brilliant. DiCaprio was on form in what is one of his best performances of his life (up there with The Departed, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape), and could really reel you in to the character and all of his troubles. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was another who was on form and although I have only seen him in one other film (and of course 3rd Rock from the Sun) I have to say that he was fantastic in this. Now I'm not saying that the other actors were adequate,quite the opposite really, its just those two really stood out for me
If you are familiar with Nolan's work (the good Batman films, The Prestige, memento etc) then you will know that he tends to not let up on the audience and even when people are simply talking, he can have a tendency to keep the pace up and some how the adrenaline of the audience, its as if there is a fight going on, with words. This stopped me getting bored within the 2 and a half hour film.
the score was done by Hans Zimmer, who had previously worked with Nolan on Batman Begins, and the Dark Knight, which by the way are the two films with my favourite soundtracks. And although the soundtrack was less than that of the latter, it definitely wasn't bad. The music helped to keep the pace up when things seemed to slow down and would engage the audience telling them that 'something is about to happen'
overall this film was fantastic, I cannot wait till I see it again, and I can't wait until the Blu ray comes out. I can leave it up to you to device whether you agree with me or not, but trust me to go and see it.
