Packed with more plot than you can imagine.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2011)

If you think this film is mediocre or just a "period piece" then you have to think again because the true depth of this plot cannot be realized without watching repeatedly.
I have watched it through several times and still can't tell if the Michael Caine character was the true mastermind.
This screenplay could play in any time or place, even with unknown actors, and still generate eternal wonder.
Too many directors rely on gratuitous violence, expensive action sequences, big name actors and grandiose sets/CGI to wow the viewers Christopher Nolan is an unmitigated genius and doesn't need any of those tricks.
