Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2010)

I simply left the movie theater feeling disappointed and a bit relieved the movie had finally ended, after reading riveting reviews only and watching a great looking trailer, my expectations were very high for this movie.
But somewhere between the van dropping into the river and Joseph Gordon-Levitt doing a matrix on the elevator, i lost interest; The Marion Cotillard scenes felt right out of a David Lynch movie where disconnection and surrealism work, here they only confused me.
Di Caprio and the cast do a good job in their roles but the script is torn between trying to make an action film and trying to intellectualize the whole "planting an idea-inception" concept.
Great effects and very good photography, good acting, terrible script, mediocre direction in my opinion.
