So apparently, according to Nolan, criminals now like to torture people in open air on train tracks, while train drivers pass by. Indian women talk to their husbands like they'd talk to their valet, and folks on the street of India are unfazed that some men jump-rope from buildings' top floors around, then nonchalantly walk away in the crowd. You can also put a guard to sleep within a second using a magic piece of cloth held loosely under the nose (very convenient!). I'll pass on the super-hero fighting skills of the main protagonist, or his unnecessary and constant attitude towards anyone, because it is not as irritating as the situations and character stories (the blond art aficionado wife divorce issue is a good exemple) thrown at us during the entire movie. Actually, I shouldn't say entire movie, because we got so bored we left before the end.
There's a new style of movie in town, a little bit like the more recent James Bonds. It is made out of over-complicated scenarios based on bad, cheap "witty" interactions and dialogues, intertwined with extended, pompous action sequences that are incoherent and quite boring.
One very strange fact to notice; the airplane preparation sequence soundtrack and scene construction, around 30 mins in, resembles the Kane plane heist scene in Batman 3 a little too much for comfort.
Lastly, I have to talk about the sound. This movie, just like Inception or Dunkirk, is LOUD but the dialogues are not clear. You can barely understand anything that is said, while the rest of the movie will shred your tympani to pieces.
