David Owen’s review:
Unfortunately most people only discovered Christopher Nolan after Batman Begins but when I was in high school this movie was the balls (that’s good for those of you who haven’t seen Anchorman).
It has a stellar cast, Guy Pearce delivers another of his amazing post-Neighbours performances. The story really isn’t as complex as it seems but the structure of the film raises interesting questions about the nature of story telling and memory.
This movie influenced a slate of knock-off’s but none have captured the raw, jaw-dropping power of this movie. Long live Christopher Nolan.
Excellent review! This was my first Nolan film and I've been a fan ever since.
Thanks Ron. Got a fav Nolan?
Yeah currently it would be The Dark Knight followed closely by Inception. I haven't seen TDKR yet it's the only Nolan film I haven't seen.
I have to say I found TDK a far superior film to TDKR. Not that Rises is bad, it's not, it's just nowhere near as tight or epic as TDK.
Yeah I've heard people say that, but I've also heard people say they like TDKR better so I guess I'll have to see for myself.
