Inception is the latest movie from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan. It's a drama suspense film with some high quality action scenes. It stars Leo DiCaprio as the main character named Cobb. It also features a high quality supporting cast of Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne), Tom Hardy (Eames), Ken Watanabe (Siato), Dileep Rao (Yusuf), Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, jr.), Marion Cotillard (Cobb's wife Mal) and other great actors that pop up like Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
The basis of the movie, put simply, is Cobb and his partners Arthur and Araidne are able to get into people's dreams and steal info. This largely done as espionage . But this is not the story really being told. Cobb has been falsely(?) accused of murdering his wife Mal. During the course of the movie she only exists in his dreams. Cobb wants to be able to get back into the US so he can see his 2 kids. But how to get past customs at the airport? Do a job for Siato against Fischer in which Siato agrees to make a 'simple phone call' on the plane to get past customs with no problem. This movie gets deep. Dreams within dreams within dreams deep.
I loved this movie! Inception has one of the most original and interesting stories I've seen. And it has acting through the roof performed by everyone on the screen. Chris Nolan knows how to get the best out of his players. It was wonderful for me to see DiCaprio and Murphy on the screen at the same time. I really enjoyed seeing Gordon-Levitt in a serious role. My main image I still had of him in my mind is from '3rd Rock from the Sun'. The way the movie feels makes it easy to tell this is a Nolan film. There are some specifics you can compare to his Bat-movies. The story changes quickly so try not to get up and go to the bathroom,etc while watching it because when you come back you won't know if what you're seeing is real or a dream or a dream within a dream. Furthermore I must state this film has one of the best final scenes I've ever seen! I think this is the best movie of the summer.
GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
