Too much

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2010)

Briefly, a high skilled ideas-thief has to implement an idea, a kind of order in fact, to a very powerful person, through dreams.
To achieve this assignment, Cobb (Di Caprio) needs to use a special team and a high risked method. This is the pretext for providing many actions, many explosions. So many that it knock you down, and I nearly fell asleep ... which is not a good sign ! I would have expected a more calm, more reflexion-focused storyboard. The cast is OK but I would not have chosen Di Caprio for the main role. He acts good but I don't see him as a ideas-thief. For this kind of scientific mission, I would have imagined someone more geeky, more cerebral. Happily, and as usual with Nolan, the visual is fantastic. Majestic, polished : impressive. This saves the film and makes it something watchable but not more. I review this film now because I'm afraid to forget it quickly !
