Dreams Within Dreams

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2014)

Christopher Nolan directed this complex and intelligent film that stars Leonardo Dicaprio as Dom Cobb, an extraction specialist(he can enter the dreams of people and steal their secrets) who is called upon to do a special job; instead of extracting, he'll be implanting an idea, but Cobb's own personal guilt regarding his wife may trap he and his team in a dream-like limbo unless he can tell the difference between a "dream" and "reality", which is made difficult by there being multiple levels of dreams going on at once...
Fine cast, script, and direction, though does give the impression of being too convoluted and "layered" for its own good. Still, this is well worth seeing regardless, and remind viewer of earlier Nolan films like "Following" and "Memento", not to mention the 1984 film "Dreamscape".
