    Pretty good Military/Crime/Action movie. The onscreen dynamic between Sean Connary and Mark Hammon was great. Meg Ryan does a good job as well.

    until the end i thought he was the victim, but in the end it seems he is the one who gets his revenge. anyway it was too much for my little head :)

    I saw this movie twice, and the second time, it wasn't as mindblowing anymore :P and as far as I understood, he'd taken his revenge sometime ago, and he was just re-doing the same thing over and over again ..for the boredom may be, or he wanted something fucked up to keep him occupied owing to his wife's death...at one point, I thought that even his wife was a false memory he made up as well....but I'll say this about this movie, it just blows your mind the first time.

    looks like I could use another look at this movie :rofl:

    Movie start with awesome Hindi song Chaiya Chaiya which shocked and got me thinking whether my insanity spread out to my PC as well :P

    • Cop guys was facing lot of difficulties eventho they had video footage on banks and voice samples of the main(Children of men) guy.
    • They could simply check video with the victims they had arrested and remove whoever in the video from the potential suspect list making the area limited and short
    • And why didnt they cross checked the voice sample of the main guy with the interrogation they have held on victims.
    • There is a screen that main guy also get arrested with all other hostage. And boom he had been imprisoned himself in a cell behind a wall of a bank for 1 week. I didnt get that
    • edit(**that part removed)
    • And Judi foster(Shes getting older :( ) is branded as having very special skills and complete discretion. Did she ever played smart ? isnt it (what that word twisted using all the time ? ) pretentious ?
    • Simply Im not smart enough to figure out any of the facts stated above

    I didn't think this movie was anything special...it was just above the average. and it's the kinda movie that you DO NOT over-analyse..which you are doing right now. just let go the little errors and enjoy it, it was not meant to be a serious arthouse type movie :P

    its good but no where near Memento level. I'd say the IMDB ratings are overrated (once again).

    Credits came well after showing the spinning top. That's enough time to decide on it as it was mentioned early on that, that top spins only in dreams and not in real life.
    The real question is when exactly the dream started as the top was spinning when Cobb finished testing the sedative created by the Chemist. So most likely, like those other people that were hooked on the drug, he got hooked there and everything that followed was one big dream.

    when he is in dream he wears a wedding ring.In real world he is not.
    in the end he does not wear.So he is in real world
    thats one of weird explanation i can think of

    if you accept the premise on how dreams are made (as told in the movie) then dreams within a dream is possible. Within the context of the first dream, your mind makes you think its real. So inside the first dream, even though the dream sharing machine itself is not real, the mind makes it real (thats a page out of Matrix theory BTW). So thats not really a plot hole.
    I've actually had a dream within a dream experience once. Not likely to forget that one!
