I'm sorry, What? 8.8. That's not right

Rating: 4/10 (24 October 2013)

Am I missing out on something? When i watched this movie, I nearly fell asleep half way through. Once again, Christopher Nolan attempts a clever, slick, convoluted film and only succeeds in boring the watcher. The story is completely unbelievable and it takes about half the movie to explain the plot. Sorry, not worth it. There are a few good ideas and clever camera work, but the script just drags and drags. Granted, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is good, Ellen page is good, Leonardo DiCaprio is average and Cillian Murphy is solid, but none of them are really able to enliven a slow moving script. By the time it got to the end, I didn't really care whether the damn thing fell or didn't. Sadly, this movie allowed me to dream far too much as DiCaprio tried to permeate my sleep. Very disappointing. Definitely not living up to the hype.
