OK but nothing new here

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2010)

This is an enjoyable film and maybe my low score is due to it not living up to other peoples reviews.
I didn't think there was any new concepts in this film. Dreams merging into reality is not new. In fact I think if they had stuck closer to the title of the film, i.e. inception of an idea through the dream state, instead of going down the action route I believe it would have been a much better film. All of the actors are excellent, Leonardo DiCaprio is great as he usually is, but in my own opinion he is much better in Shutter Island (I also think it's a much better film) My summary is that it's an enjoyable action film with more of a plot than most action thrillers. Good fun but far from the best film I've ever seen.
