Inception — trailer

Our take

A heist movie folded inside a dream inside a puzzle box — Nolan's most purely entertaining high-concept thrill ride. It rewards close attention without ever sacrificing momentum, anchored by a clean ensemble and that endlessly debated final shot.

Good for: Anyone who likes their action with a side of mind-bending.
