- If Leo's your leading man of choice, then you will enjoy this film.Inception is the new film from British director Christopher Nolan who was responsible for creating the darker Batman character, played by Christian Bale in "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".
Inception has a star studded cast with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the lead role of "Cobb" along with Ellen Page of "Juno" fame, Joseph Gordon-Levitt of "60 Days of Summer", Academy Award winning actress Marion Cotillard from the film "La Vie en rose" and seminal actors Michael Caine, Pete Poselthwaite and Tom Berenger.
Up and coming British actor "Tom Hardy", who also features in the film, manages to steal the limelight from others through his sheer charisma and that British accent! He is best known for his starring role in the film "Bronson" which premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2009.
This film takes us on a journey which can be likened to that of the film "The Matrix", where reality and the subconscious become blurred. Leo appears to be attracted to the idea of reality and our skewed perceptions of it as his role in the film "Shutter Island" took a similar turn.
Casting in this film is similar to that of the Ocean's Eleven franchise, with a couple of key character such as Leo's "Cobb" and Ellen Page's "Ariadne" supported by a cast of pretty young things and acting stalwarts Michael Caine and Pete Poselthwaite. This film is enjoyable although perhaps a little too long (it seems lately the running time of each film has to be a minimum of 2 hours). A thinking man's/woman's action/adventure!
