so mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2011)

Pretty but pointless. Jackman and Caine are very good as always, not too much to say about the others.
Like most Chris Nolan movies, seems good but emotionally empty. There should be more payoff for the tension, intensity and rough bits. And Christian Bale is such a tiresome blowhard, especially when he's not pretending to be America. God, what a stiff lipped high strung twit.
Perhaps there is more payoff towards the end than I anticipate, I couldn't stand the runaround the movie gives the viewer, so I watched only a portion of this 130min movie. It's a 'movie' for sure, mostly for empty entertainment purposes.
