Movie Reviews: Tenet; Phineas and Ferb; She Dies Tomorrow

It’s a bravura opening from Christopher Nolan, whose films – Momentum, Inception, Interstellar and even Dunkirk – tend to play with conventional concepts of time

Tenet - John David Washington and Robert Pattinson Christopher Nolan

Tenet ***

Eagerly anticipated as the movie to kickstart the return to the Cineplex, Tenet (12A) opens in suitably explosive fashion as CIA-style special agent, The Protagonist (John David Washington), seeks to rescue a VIP from a Kiev opera house besieged by terrorists. In the midst of the chaos, the Protagonist notices something distinctly odd: time appears to be playing nasty tricks. Soon the Protagonist is confirmed in his suspicions: up against an unknown foe using unprecedented weaponry, and armed with nothing more than the codeword ‘Tenet’, the Protagonist is commissioned to prevent a global cataclysm.
