Its very good, but not crazy-amazing-awesome.
When you strip it down, its a pretty basic crime thriller. Guy assembles a team of thieves, and when they try to steal shit, everything goes wrong.
It's the setting that sets the movie apart.
The movie isn't that hard to follow, as it doesn't try to have twists and turned. There are clearly defined layers (it seems like Nolan went out of his way to make sure the different layers were easy to differentiate, in fact) and if you can't follow the plot, you probably aren't paying attention. Memento was much more complex than this.
A definite must-see, but some people are getting carried away.
