The characters are not believable, the acting is weak and heavy handed. The story felt dragged out, lots of unnecessary scenes and plenty of missing necessary ones. The repeating the murder scene but changing it each time has been done before but better in every movie I have seen it happen.
The writer does not appear to understand how to tell a story in a compelling manner. They seem to be aiming for humanising the lead but that did not work and they were not interesting or compelling. None of the characters are worth caring about and frankly I don't know why I didn't stop watching.
The people who worked on the lighting and shot composition have raised this from 1 star to 2.

The film was fun and interesting, but not if you start thinking about it.
One of the great aspects of Nolan films is afterwards you want to go away and discuss them and think about the concepts and the story points that occur. This film is no exception.
Much like his other films it has an interesting concept that makes you want to delve into more and really think about it. This is sadly the point that everything falls apart. As soon as you start thinking about character motivations, the flow off the story and alternative choices you start to realise that the whole thing kind of falls apart.
I cannot actively recommend it but some of the concepts are interesting enough that it is more than just watchable. However, it does feel a little like the set pieces were written before the entire plot and the plot was really there to force the set pieces into play.
