Inception

Title: Inception
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Leonard DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy

Summary:
Industrial spy Cobb steals ideas from dreams. Banished from his homeland and separated from his children because of some dark deeds in his past. He sees a chance of redemption when he's hired to perform the impossible: inception; planting an idea in the mind of a powerful business man. However, the stakes are, as failure will result in Cobb being lost in sub-conscious limbo forever.

There is much to admire in Inception. The true star, however, is the concept of layering dreams within dreams; the physics of one level destabilising the next level down. This yields highly imaginative, giddy sequences of parallel action such as zero gravity fist fights.

Taking dream invasion as his chosen theme, Nolan delivers a superb, intelligent, labyrinthian thriller. Once again he proves he is the 'dark knight' of cinema, set to save the summer blockbuster from bland mediocrity.
