Inception

From what I have read. Christopher Nolan, wants to do a  James Bond movie. This can be seen as a two hour audition for it. There are car chases, there are chases through exotic locations, Mombassa. Tokyo, and Paris.
The plot is both simple and complex. The Army developed a system to control dreams, to allow people to experience pain while they are dreaming. That technology has been corrupted, and stolen, and is now used for corporate espionage.
Leo is playing Cobb. A man, who has learned how to enter and manipulate peoples dream, but is haunted in his dreams by his wife, who died.
John Gordon Levit, as Leo’s partner in crime.
The lovely Ellen page stars as Adriane. Cool nickname
Well, Leo, and John and Ellen, are hired by a Japanese corporation, to implant an idea, into the son and heir of the Tycoon, who is their major rival.
The Tycoon’s son is played by Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine has a cameo as Leo’s father in law.  So Nolan picked his favourites.
Its not a bad movie. It left me unmoved.
Ellen should have created more of a frission, here she seemed to be quite bloodless.
Its just strange to see John Gordon L, fighting and killing people though he is a decent actor. It doesn’t help the last time I saw him was as Cobra commander
Adriane cool name. I liked it, Adriane made a maze
As I said, it feels like a bond movie. There is a shootout at Alpine or Siberian fortress. Ala The Spy who loved me. There are the chases in exotic locales.
The scene were Leo almost gets caught trying to clamber through a gap in the wall, is good. The violence, feels real, noisy indistinct and heavy
Sometimes, Leo did not sell his part. I was aware I was seeing an actor
There is some nice 3d, but it left me unmoved. I hope we see more of Ellen page, John Gordon, and a Nolan Bond mobie
