A truly great piece of cinema.

Rating: 2/10 (9 August 2010)

Many things have already been said concerning "Inception," so I'm going to keep this short and focus on some things I haven't seen mentioned yet..
The acting is flat-out incredible, with the exception of Leonardo DiCaprio. Comparison with Keanu Reeves is becoming inevitable, what with Leonardo's "I can only look angry and confused"-style of acting. Fortunately, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt give such an impressive performance that for once, I couldn't be bothered by Leonardo's one-sidedness. Hardy in particular is a force of nature, with perfect timing, inflection, emotion and humor. He's amazing.
This movie leaves pretty much the whole plot open to the viewer's imagination, which I find very appropriate taking in regard the subject matter. The theories about this movie are diverse, which makes this a powerful film even if you didn't enjoy it. It's food for thought, it's entertaining, it's good, it's visually stunning. I urge every film lover to watch this.
