Movie reviews: ‘Tenet’ an elaborate story with enigmatic characters and a world that needs saving

This image released by Warner Bros. Entertainment shows Robert Pattinson, left, and John David Washington in a scene from"Tenet." "We're living in a twilight world." That's the password The Protagonist and Company use in "Tenet," the new Christopher Nolan mind-bender, now playing only in theatres, but the movie's premise is more "Twilight Zone" than twilight world.

So far, "Tenet" feels like an elaborate James Bond style story, complete with exotic locations, enigmatic characters and a world that needs saving.The Protagonist isn't simply dealing with the usual spy stuff, like international intrigue, a Russian oligarch or femme fatales. He's fighting against "inversion," a disturbance in the very fabric of time, that sees material running backwards through time, while the rest of the world moves forward.

At the centre of the action is John David Washington, hot off his Golden Globe Best Actor nomination for "BlacKkKlansman." He's in every scene, and whether wearing a Brooks Brother suit or hanging off the side of a building, he's a convincing action hero with acting chops. It's a demanding role and he pulls it off with equal parts bravado and restraint. It takes swagger to anchor a movie like this but in his relationship with Kat he reveals a flirtier, more tender side.
