A mind blowing experience, literally!

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2015)

It's a brain-twister, believe you me! A daredevilry narrative experiment by writer-director Nolan is every bit as nail biting as it is adhesive.
A hi-tech security consultant (DiCaprio) has devised a contraption that allows him to sneak into people's dreams and extract vital corporate secrets. To complicate matters, his own subconscious is haunted by the figure of his late wife (Cotillard) and their two young children. Moreover, his new mission is fraught with danger as it involves planting an idea in the target's mind instead of merely pilfering one.
Assembling a crack team, the 'dream thief' sends them (and us) down the proverbial rabbit hole where nothing is as it seems.
Needless to say, Inception forever confounds the viewer's expectations. Leaving little doubt as to his talent as a story teller, Nolan demands our undivided attention.
The film is given a further boost not only from Leonardo DiCaprio's persuasive performance but from the imaginative set designs, gravity-defying stunts and a pulse- pounding musical score by Hans Zimmer.
Inception is recommended whole-heartedly for those who love skittish encounters.
