Caught it last night. I really liked it, but didn't love it the way I've loved other Nolan films.

Great writing, beautiful cinematography, and good acting, but the whole thing felt a bit clinical to me. It lacked that spark Nolan's other films have had. I think this may have come down to the acting. DiCaprio was good but didn't have that extra something to give the film that extra burst of energy or momentum the way Pearce did in 'Memento' or Jackman did in 'The Prestige'. And there was no chemistry between the characters, though that may actually have been part of the plot. Still, one of the better films I've seen in awhile.
