    An intelligent film that blew me away!

    by Varvaro

    Ok this movie is confusing if you don't watch ever second of it, but if you get it, you will love it. This movie is pure art and should be much more well known than it is currently. Go and see this film if your at least 16, any younger and it may be hard to understand. Almost a must go but because of the mass confusion of some scenes being in order and some not i must demote it to a go.

    Great film!

    Guy Pierce was fantastic. The story reallyesses with traditional structure and allows for quite a good time as we follow the protagonist. Highly recommend it

    AWESOME MOVIE!!

    by Mexicanjedi

    By Far one of my All time Favorite Movies. Done by Mr. Christopher Nolan so you know it will be amazing. Like most of Nolan's films, Inception, The Dark Knight, Batman begins, and the Prestige, this film usually gets better and better the more you watch it. Personally I have seen the film 9 times now, and I even got to go to a showing where Christopher Nolan did a Q&A. Go see it if you haven't!
