Inception

Another movie we recently watched and I can't understand why some critics knocked this filum by saying it was confusing.  It seemed pretty straightforward to me (although I am a fan of Christopher Nolan's work and loved his début; Memento) but one does have to pay attention.  My only criticism is that it was overly long at around 2 hours and 20 minutes but a good yarn with a novel approach.  Plot via IMDb:

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.
