Visually, INCEPTION is rich, although some images tend to become repetitive in this overlong film. It boasts a star-laden cast: di Caprio, Hardy, Cotillard, Caine, Postlethwaite, and many other greats in small roles. Yet, there is not a single great piece of acting in it. The script is full of twists, play on the third dimension, time, and all kinds of theories, but in the end... it has no idea how to end. It goes on and on, mostly in slow motion. What was the secret sought in the vault? Was "disappointed" a synonym for CITIZEN KANE's "Rosebud"? In a nutshell, that is how pretentious and hollow INCEPTION is. A waste of talent.
