Inception (2010)

One of my favorite directors, Christopher Nolan (Memento,Revamped Batman series and The Prestige), has another fantastic film on his hands with Inception.

Inception is a fantastic psychlogical thriller akin to Memento but was easier to follow because it was actually a linear plot. The dificult part for most people to follow was the gap between reality and dream, I didn't find it hard to follow at all but maybe it's just me.

Inception has a great cast with Oscar noms, Leo Dicaprio and Ellen Page, Oscar Winner, Marion Cotillard, as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Wanatabe and Cillian Murphy.

Dicaprio stars as Dom Cobb who runs a small group of theives who are hired to infiltrate the dreamscape of victims in order to extract information from deep in their subconsience. After botching this final job Wantanabe's character, Mr. Saito, hires them fro a different sort of job, implating an idea, Inception, in the mind of Cillian Murphy's character, Robert Fischer. The only way to do this is to go as deep into his mind as possible, a dream within a dream within a dream. The group needs a new architect which is where Ariadne (Page) comes in being a natural at creating the dream scape. Everything they work for almost comes crashing down when the Memory of Cobb's wife (Cotillard) attempts to sabotage everything that Cobb does.

The movie ends in tremendous fashion and really makes you rethink the entire movie. Inception is definetly a movie that should be viewed at least twice. It is brillently directed, acted and written and Leo is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors as almost ever film hes in is fantastic.

I highly reccomend seeing Inception it is deffinetly one of the best films of the year and it will not disappoint, just make sure to pay attention cuz if you get even a bit side tracked and youll be done.

Inception recieves 9 "Leo Strut's"...out of 10.
