Inception (2010) M

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Sophisticated, that is what Inception is. Christopher Nolan, the writer and director of this film achieved something truly amazing in this motion picture, it is cinema at a new level. Forget about those days when good guy kills bad guy, or a girl is in love with a vampire, or even the days of a computer hacker by the name of Neo discovering that life is nothing more than cyber intelligence called the Matrix.

This film begins leaving you perhaps somewhat confused and wanting to take a step back for a moment, however the brilliance of Christopher Nolan assists you in understanding the idea of Inception and by the time he does this, you will be up to speed and on the edge of your seat until the very last second of the film, literally! The story follows Dominic Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) the best in the business of 'Extraction' , proffesional theifs who steal secrets from within shared dreams and his journey to complete a mission in order to get his life back on track.

Inception is a film that will leave you thinking for hours, maybe days or weeks, it is truly genious and as much the film is sophisticated, the film has a strong plot that will truly engage you for an experience of a lifetime. It's storywriting at it's best which makes Hollywood Special Effects look like a bonus rather then the selling point of this film.

Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best and certainly assists in making you understand the film better, however all credit goes to the director who executed the film wonderfully and made the experience feel 'cool'. I would say that it is a film that will require 100% concentration from the the get-go as the plot is very complex, nothing like you have perhaps ever come across, it's a film that should be watched when you are craving for a thriller, something to get your mind working. A true masterpiece.

9/10 for me.

Lastly, I wanted to leave you with a Prediction. I have a strong feeling that in the next Batman film, the Riddler will be played by Leonardo DiCaprio! Christopher Nolan likes using the same actors in his projects and Leonardo DiCaprio could really make the role of Riddler his own little baby.
