Another new concept in the thriller genre was set in motion by the movie Inception. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Inception instituted the concept of intellectually complex movies being commercial hits. Before this, people feared that multilayered cerebral movies would lose the audience mid-plot, but this movie changed the notion with its popularity. It set the pace for other highly thought-inducing movies like - Tenet, Looper, and Matrix Resurrection.
