Just based on the one trailer I've seen, it seems to be a more linear story and a bit of a departure. But that will obviously last about ten minutes until they start with the mindfucks again. The Nolan brothers would surprise us more if they made something completely straightforward for once.
I wouldn't mind if it was all just Hopkins GOATing it up again. As good a cast as it has, every time he's on screen he completely elevates everything.
