WOW! I've yet to process it, but I think this is Nolan's most experimental film to date.
How do you rate it? And where do you rank it in Nolan’s filmography?
I don't know yet. I really need to process it... But very hight. I LOVED IT.
Excellent… I’m planning to see it on the opening day.

Cillian, RDJ, Emily and Jason Clarke. But all of them are outstanding.

Glad that Jason Clarke is that good; I was worried about the possibility of him underselling that role, so I can cross that worry off my list!

What about Kenneth Branagh and Jack Quaid? And Josh! I've really been curious about how they are!

Kenneth Branagh and Jack Quaid have really small parts. Josh is amazing.

Would you say it’s a film you’d like to rewatch numerous times? And how would you rate the intro/ending, please using a spoiler tag if required!

Between the script and the performances, are there any clearly outright villainous roles in the film, or is every role that of a complicated figure dealing with difficult issues?

I already have tickets for Thursday and Friday. I need/want a rewatch.
I'm not sure about the begining, but after two hours I'm still in shock about the ending.
