Way over-rated it was more of a deception

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2010)

Oh man this film wasn't really that good and I'll try to explain why without giving anything away.
Firstly let me just say that I've always been a fan of Christopher Nolan, and whilst I've never particularly been a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio his recent films particularly shutter island changed that view and I've actually started to like him he's surely grown as an actor over the years, furthermore, there are other talented cast in there but Joseph Gordon-Levitt I think was a bad choice for this movie he just didn't suit his role.
OK now onto the actual film, the ideas were there, so was the budget and the cast so were did it all go so wrong? With a mixture of the directing and writing things got too deep and generally quite cryptic that felt a little hacky at times. It's not greatly structured nor does it seem well thought out, I think they tried to put so many twists and turns on the movie that it just wasn't that enjoyable; I totally understood it but the time they spent putting too many twists and turns in it could and should have been spent using deeper character development and general creativity opposed to just making things as non-linear as possible.
4/10 and that's being generous
