Dark magical thriller

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2015)

This movie enthralled me in every shot. The actors showcased finesse in terms of acting and Chris Nolan achieves a tour de force in every shot. For a lover of period dramas, I found the movie incredibly well-directed and the suspense trickled drop by drop as the scenes progress. I have not read the book but apparently the author wanted Nolan to adapt his story. I would say he had an excellent hunch. Rebecca Hall especially made a mark. The last time I saw her in Parade's End (the BBC TV mini series), she took my breath away. Hugh Jackman lives under the skin of his character. Christian Bale succeeded in pulling the wool over the audience's eyes too. All in all, a classy movie.
