Freddie H @HairyHudini 4d 77% is a crime. This is a brilliantly plotted and layered movie, with action, mystery, and more! Hugh Jackman and Chrsitian Bale star in this movie. The movie kept me on tenterhooks till the very end... I advise all to watch this masterpiece. See more Lucile F @lucile_fl 6d This is definitely one of Christopher Nolan’s best films. The concept itself is so refreshing, magic is not something that is often depicted on the big screen. The ending is somewhat disappointing, I always feel cheated when the big plot twist is a twin reveal. The entire concept actually relies heavily on the idea of duplicity, and it could have gotten very messy and silly if it weren’t a Nolan film. The screenplay really is perfect. It is just the right amount of eerie, questioning ideas of morals, pride and the ego of men, willing to sacrifice everything - including themselves - just to one up the other and be the best. Definitely some food for thought. See more Paul L @HonestReview12740 Aug 1 Very good twist. Had to watch the ending three times because it was so good.

The first watch is the magic trick. The second is learning how the magician fooled you while never actually lying. Every line, every glance, every edit, and every detail was there from the beginning, hidden in plain sight. The ending doesn’t just surprise you. It transforms everything that came before it and rewrites your memory of the entire film. Like the greatest illusions, it becomes even more astonishing once you know how it was done. Nolan has directed bigger, louder, and more ambitious films. He has never directed a better one. Are you watching closely?

Every narrative turn ultimately serves a deeply human story about obsession and the cost of defining yourself through a single consuming purpose. It has a memorable twist, but the emotional and psychological journey is what makes it truly great. See more Read all reviews
