Tom Hardy has revealed that he thinks his new movie Inception is 'brilliant' and heaps praise on director Christopher Nolan.

The Brosnan star lines up alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page for Nolan's latest project and Hardy has called Nolan a 'masterful filmmaker'.

He's a very, very masterful filmmaker and he puts a great team together. He's capturing things from every angle.

Speaking to ComingSoon.net the actor said: "I thought it was brilliant. Because it's moving so quickly, there's very little of the performance I gave that wasn't in the film. It's so expediently delivered and dispatched.

"What we shot is on the screen. We just had lots of coverage of it. He's a very, very masterful filmmaker and he puts a great team together. He's capturing things from every angle.

"He's performance heavy. He's got an amazing eye for picking up moments and finding things. You don't even realize sometimes that it's something you're giving off.

"Honestly, on a personal level and a mercenary level, when you're working with anybody and you sign the line, you kind of know that's what happens when you go in.

"If you're continuity heavy and if you're good enough, to be able to replicate by repetition naturally and organically the same moves, you could be a continuity junkie as an actor.

"You can hit the same mark on every single take down to what side is your best side. There's rocket science if you want to get into it. There's nerds involved in this game who interact, too.

"There's was to define and manipulate our performances as well. There's all kinds of tricks going. But the bottom line is that what I saw in the film was what I gave on the floor. The angles and the different type of shot.

"I'm so proud of Chris just to see his brainchild and creation. Which is risky in this climate, too. Saying, "I need $200 million to make a movie about people stealing dreams from people" and "I need this and that" and "I need to turn Paris upside down." Stuff like that.

"Who would give that kind of money to anybody these days? And to see it up on the screen is just -- I hope you gentlemen agree with me, but I think this is one of the most exciting movies not just of the summer but to appear in theaters for a very very long time.

"It's a blockbuster, but it's also a fulfilling movie, too. Which is not too complex and is simple. And delivers on many levels."

Inception is released 16th July
