I really don't like DiCrapio. The only reason he did ok in this role is because he was passing through different realities and living a lie, which could explain the way he struggles to find his character and stay in character...aside from the obvious explanation that he's just a bad actor. I agree that Nolan got good performances out of all the other actors. Nolan's vision was almost flawlessly executed. He's been one of my favorite directors since Prestige.Spoilers: I thought there were three major copouts in the movie. The first was that DeCrapio's character referred to infiltrating the deepest depths of his wife's subconscious to find out what she'd hidden there and replace it with his own idea, which is how he proved that inception works. We find out what that idea was, but not what his wife's original secret was. This secret I believe would have added much to the story. Another copout was when Watanabe was brought out of limbo in the dream within the dream within the dream. They show DeCrapio going back for him, but edit out any explanation of how Watanabe overcame his fatal gunshot that would damn him to an eternity in limbo, based on the earlier explanation. And of course I don't get what Watanabe gained by the whole dream infiltration--did they learn anything from Fisher or plan an idea in his head that had any significance? I need to see this at least once more to tie it all together. There is no doubt that the climax and ending were masterful. The beginning was laborious, though. At first, I found it fatiguing to the point where I actually fell asleep for the first 10 minutes. There were too many complex ideas tossed out too quickly with too many plot devices in play, and it wasn't immediately paid off. But had DiCrapio been replaced with Bale, this may have been Nolan's best film.
