Interesting and creative but with minor flaws.

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2016)

This film revolves around the theft of ideas, pushed to the limit, with the thief entering into the mind of another person through a dream made for that purpose. It has the main actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy (all in the guise of a team of thieves of ideas) and Ken Watanabe (in the role of a powerful Japanese chairman). Christopher Nolan took charge of the script and direction.
It is undoubtedly an interesting, intellectually challenging and well-crafted film. The rich and intricate script gives us a solid, well-imagined story with good characters (the two main characters, attributed to DiCaprio and Watanabe, are even more worked and function as antagonists). Despite this, the contained and reserved form as the characters demonstrate emotions makes the movie a bit cold from the emotional point of view. The emotions are there, they just prefer to demonstrate them in a discreet way. The script could have even explored the emotional and psychological consequences of stealing ideas, for the thief and for those who are robbed, but prefers to remain in the realm of material consequences. The end of the film is good but, from a certain moment, it becomes slow and predictable. Despite this, praise is given to the performance of Nolan as well as the main actors. DiCaprio fulfilled our expectations, Ellen Page was a pleasant surprise and the rest of the cast was up to the challenge.
Although not a perfect movie, there is no doubt that it is good. It's a movie that will be more pleasing to the more intellectual, audiences who do not like movies where thinking is needed to understand it will probably have more difficulty in enjoying it.
