If you've seen Shutter Island its kind of the same style and acting Leonardo brought to the table. I don't think it was the greatest movie this year, very hyped up.

On every level this movie is nothing short of movie execution brilliance. Not only does it demand a second viewing (I thought that I still didn't "get" about 10% of it the first time around, and then I went back and discovered that I actually didn't "get" about 30% of the movie the first time around) it was WAY better the second time around. This is one of those extremely rare instances of a film where there are no scenes that could have been "cut" on the editing table and have the movie still work. This script took 8 years to write and 2 years to produce, as a film, and you are going to know where your $10-15 bucks went when you see it. (To pun a line from "Pulp Fiction" about shooting good heroine). I am a screenwriter too (written 6, working on 6 more) so I know what kind of effort goes into writing something like this, and this is the kind of thing that either makes you want to give up as a writer, or do it even more. There is no line, no shot, no visual device, or no scene that absolutely doesn't need to be there, and everything serves to drive the story forward and flesh out the main character of Cobb. While many films have about 3 major setups and payoffs, this movie has probably closer to 20 or 30. This is one of those very rare instances where the action and special effects actually take a back seat to the story, and the effects, action, and cinematography are amazing in their own right. I can understand why a lot of people might have a "luke warm" reception to 'Inception' but in all cases I think it's because this is a movie that requires you to pay attention, and it also invites you to think. This story is firing on all 8 cylinders and is brain candy for anyone that loves the craft of film. I immediately added 'Inception' to my personal list of top 10 favorite movies, of all time, and this is the kind of movie that reminds me why I love movies - and love good writing - in the first place. God, if I could only be THAT good. Even if you don't want to peel away the layers of 'Inception' like a Russian nesting doll, there is still plenty of punch on 'level number 1' - the mental bank heist. I am super critical of all movies because I love really GOOD movies and 'Inception' is what it's all about. 10 out of 10. One word of advice: See it in IMAX if you can, because this movie was born for IMAX. Have fun! Peace. I agree with your review of 'Inception' 100%.
