Yes, Nolan knows how to make a movie. Epics that focus more on character than “mindless”action. Gary Oldman is as much a star of this last film as Bale. And believe it or not, he makes a heavy a sympathetic character.

You nailed it. I saw the movie a week ago and keep thinking about new aspects of it. A totally conservative, traditional message and, as I said a week ago, the action and violence were NOT gratuitous.

It's funny, I saw maybe seven trailers, and with the exception of one (dumb) comedy, they were all one explosion/gunfire/explosion/car chase after another. The only one that stood out was "Expendables 2" for the names. I thought, wow, if I could show my trailer (which I'm sending you in Freepmail), I think it would be the only one remembered.
