So where doesOppenheimeractually fit in the directors filmography?
Anyway, here they are.
(Also, the lead thiefs name is Cobb, the same as the head thief inInception).
Anybody interested in the directors films should check this one out.
But its technical limitations, combined with Nolans own inexperience, make it one of his weaker works.
Plus, theres loads of atmosphere.
But the movie is also, at times, dreadfully dull.
The somnambulant mood may be partly intentional, but its also wearying.
Theres plenty of great stuff here, from Anne Hathaways jaded, sassy Catwoman to some eye-popping action sequences.
It might be the most epic of Nolans three Batman entries.
UntilDunkirk, it was his one film that could be called a war movie.
The film only really falters in its last act, with a somewhat underwhelming final action set piece.
Oh, and Katie Holmes seems strangely miscast as Bruce Waynes love interest/moral North Star.
Thats not to suggest, however, that the film is frivolous or meaningless.
That said,Tenetmight be the Nolan film I enjoy revisiting the most nowadays.

Seriously, I could watch these scientists arguing for hours and hours.
Instead, its tight, terse, and tense from its opening frame to its last.
For what its worth and somewhat ironically it might also be the most hopeful picture Nolan has ever made.
