I went to see this film with a pair of identical twins, who used the fact of their similarity to fox the cinema staff and get in half price. Astonishing serendipity, considering the subject matter.
This is one of those films where you spend the entire time trying to figure out the twist, rather than appreciating the film itself. Not that there’s a huge amount to appreciate, it’s entertaining enough but suffers from Nolan’s usual habit of taking potentially exciting material way too seriously, and ruining it for everyone in the process. The twist, when it comes, is dumb and sort of ludicrous, and there’s still too much in the film that just doesn’t make sense. But there are worse ways to kill two hours.
