A near-perfect example of a near-perfect film

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2013)

Where could I possibly begin for a movie like this? This is one of the best films of recent memory, hands down. With the Dark Knight, it completely blew away expectations, with Inception, there was a bar to raise, and Nolan knew very well that he had to raise it. The result is a higher class of film. The story, where some may find confusing, I find very compelling. But it is a very heartless movie, nothing is done out of kindness or love, well not in the right way or for the right reasons at least. The characters know there is a job to be done that needs to be done and that is what makes this film comes full circle for me, and when that happens, that is all you can ask for. Another thing I credit besides the striking visuals, talented writing is the incorporation of Leonardo DiCaprio. It is a nice addition to have an A-lister in such a compelling role as his. It is a beautiful thing when all these elements come together, which makes this film a must-watch.
