The twists are awesome, but I'll be damned if the story isn't intriguing even when the twists have been exposed. The fact that it doesn't hang it's worth on the twist is what I love the most.
The dangers of being obsessed with being the best, sacrifices one must make, is it worth it in the end, for any party involved? You decide. I think this is Nolan's best (IMHO), but in a pool of solid As and A minuses, this only stands an inch or 2 above of the Inceptions, Dark Knights and Mementos that often get all the Nolan love
