Puzzling This movie is way too long. But it did give me ample time to puzzle over whether it was the atrocious writing that made the acting seem so bad or the wooden acting that made the writing so dull. Quite the conundrum. I find it hard to believe that Christopher Nolan birthed this BS. However, I am keeping the faith in Nolan by assuming that, as a lark, he got together a room full of 8 year old boys, had them "write" a movie, slapped together all their disparate thoughts and voila . . . We got ourselves an action movie.
