As we have come to expect from a Christopher Nolan film, Tenet engages and challenges the viewer right from the outset with its dynamic and arresting opening. Its reputation as a head-scratcher is well-founded, but once you get the idea of what it is trying to do, Tenet has a rewarding central conceit to see played out, even if the final twenty minutes feel a bit like everyone had given up on it trying to make sense and fulfil its own internal logic. With gorgeous cinematography, mind-bending effects, some effective action sequences, a committed central performance by John David Washington and a cool hard-synth soundtrack by Ludwig Gorannson , Tenet is a secret agent thriller like no other, and whilst fans of the genre will find its sci-fi trappings way too esoteric, it is sometimes good for us as viewers not to have everything handed to us on a plate as easily as most films offer.
