Thanks

I guess that sort of speaks to Chris Nolan's talent as a director making up for his weaknesses as a writer. He has a lot of really interesting ideas--I've really enjoyed all his movies (I haven't seen Following, but even Insomnia was pretty solid for an English remake of a foreign film)--but I'm not sure any of them quite hit the heights it seems like he reaches for philosophically.

I enjoyed Kick Ass too, btw. And no, the main kid and the villain (the dad, not the kid) are British, the rest of the main cast is American. But yeah, the writer, director and some (most?) of the producers are British.
