It is an example of Chris Nolan at his best, where his visual device, as powerful as it is, it does not overwhelm the narrative. If you take a look at ‘The Dark Knight,’ as powerful as the visual of the film was, the most memorable scene in the movie, at least for me, was the talking scene between Batman and Joker. Two guys talking in an action film is the most compelling part of an action film. That’s Chris Nolan at his best.

—Stephen Tobolowsky in an interview with the A.V. Club

Don’t ever write a check with your mouth you can’t cash with your ass.

— Wise Man (played by Scott Glenn) in Sucker Punch

I get a craving like a fiend for nicotine, but I don’t need a cigarette, know what I mean?
