Forget "The Dark Knight". Forget "The Dark Knight Rises". Forget even "Inception". This film matches the levels of greatness that "Memento", my favorite Nolan film, manages to reach, and it does it without telling the story backwards. This is dark, mysterious, captivating, intelligent, and is easily one of Nolan's most under rated films so far.

Nolan asks us to watch his film closely but knows very well that we won't because deep down, we actually want to be fooled. The bastard is mocking us from behind the scenes, revealing the secret right at the very beginning and laugh hysterically as we still scratch our heads throughout the film.
He doesn't even try to disguise his trick, we literally hear and see the answer yet we choose to mislead ourselves. Now that I've stepped back and looked at the bigger picture, I realize there wasn't even any puzzle to begin with.
The real mystery here is why was I so dense the first time around to not see something so obvious! Nolan, you clever bastard, you -- pulling off one of the most fascinating sleight-of-hand in the history of film editing.
