Inception

Written by Jack Montgomery on 27 August 2010 | 2 Comments | Movies

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine

Plot: Dom Cobb (DiCaprio) is part spy, part thief, but the bank vaults he sneaks around in are the corridors of the mind – Cobb invades people’s dreams to steal ideas which he then sells to unscrupulous corporations. The stakes are raised when Cobb is forced to go a step further to enter unknown territory to invade a target’s mind to try to plant an idea instead of stealing one. With imagination as a battlefield anything can happen.

9/10 – Two factors should give audiences the heads-up that Inception is going to be something special. It stars Leo DiCaprio and anything Leo stars in is pretty much guaranteed to be watchable. Secondly, and more importantly, it’s directed by Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight). When Nolan’s at the helm, audiences can expect something original, dark and thought provoking and Inception doesn’t disappoint. Using the strangest corners of the mind as locations for this hi-concept and unique thriller, Inception is a complex movie that’ll have you clinging to its coat tails to keep up with the plot developments and action.

Original cinema can be an exhilarating experience and Inception’s multi-layered plot is superbly aided and abetted by a class act of a cast which includes Michael Caine, the wonderful Ellen Page and Ken Watanabe.

Inception may not ring the bell of fans of Jason Statham type action movies. But for those who were wowed by the originality and style of the first Matrix movie, this is a truly fresh mindblower that will have you debating its clever storytelling for weeks. Unmissable.
