Inception
12A
With a towering performance by DiCaprio , a star studded cast and inspiring direction by Christopher Nolan (Memento and The Dark Knight) this unique picture is a top contender for quality film of the year. But don't expect easy answers! On the surface it has all the tricks of a sci-fi thriller, but it defies cliché. 'Buildings tilt. Streets coil. Characters float. Gravity is defied.' Dom Cobb (DiCaprio) is an expert in the techniques of corporate crime. His special skill is to mine for top secrets in the subconscious mind - as hidden in dreams. This makes his extraordinary skills a high prize for his employer, but a dangerous threat to business rivals who have hounded him into anonymity, in exile, where he has had to give up everything, including his family, that makes him human. One, final mission offers him redemption and a return to a meaningful life. His task is not to discover a key dream-secret but to carry out the perfect crime by implanting ideas in the subliminal mind of the target brain. But the enemy seems to be one step ahead of Cobb's brilliance and his hand- picked team of four , Arthur (Levitt) , Eames (Hardy), Yusuf Rao) and Ariadne ( Page) - and his father in law Miles ( Caine). Their job is to infiltrate the brain of billionaire Robert Fischer Jnr ( Murphy) who is to inherit his father's corporate empire. But what is truth, what is reality, what is a dream, what is logic?
