The mind-boggling, brain-aching, soul-destroying psyche/thrill that had the most 'honest' of us admitting that we didn't have a clue; but that argument could be made for most of Christopher Nolan's genius.

Cobb steals information from his targets by entering their dreams. Saito offers to wipe clean Cobb's criminal history as payment for performing an inception on his sick competitor's son.

In an effort to combat confusion, television broadcasts in Japan include text in the upper-left corner of the screen to remind viewers which level of the dream a specific scene takes place in. The film is one which twists the cerebrum and tests intelligence in its display of polish and finesse. The picture is a work of art, it is museum-worthy cinematography with Nolan offering us no clarity between delusion and illusion. We as the audience eagerly await the Volta in the production and ultimately are tantalised by the seriously impressive performances from Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Leonardo DiCaprio - all of whom own the screen in such a professional and profound manner.

Its complicated narrative is difficult to understand and can make the movie-watching experience a less enjoyable one, to a point where it almost feels tiring. Though, for those who comfortably grasp the psychological criss-cross, the watch is one that keeps you guessing, and continues to unfold new monumental events acting as clues to the sensational subplot.

For those who believe the 2010 release is overrated, 836.8 million says otherwise. A film that may not be comprehendible, but can still be respected.
