Heist movies are only as good as their climactic heist and in Inception, writer/director Chris Nolan comes up with an ingenious one. Seizing on the gimmick of dreams Nolan stages a heist that takes place across four different dreamscapes, including a rain-soaked city, a posh hotel, a remote mountain bunker and, last but not least, a crumbling metropolis that exists on a level of dreaming that’s referred to in grave tones as “limboâ€â€”a place from where few who venture ever return.
