The film's plot focuses on an aspiring writer, Bill(Jeremy Theobald) who is obsessed with following people. One day, Bill is caught in the act by a theif, Cobb(Alex Haw} who loves to interfere with people's lives. After their first meeting, Bill is thrown into Cobb's world.
Only one word can describe this film, brilliant. The writing and direction of Christopher Nolan is amazing. After seeing Memento, I kept saying this man was going to be director to keep your eyes on. And now that I've seen Following, I feel even stronger about that.
As for the acting, it was superb. I never heard of any of the actors, actually, they were basically newcomers to me. But still, they were great in their roles. Also, maybe I wasn't paying attention very well, but I loved the overall message Nolan was trying to get across. And that is, what could/can happen to you if you get invovled with the wrong people.
Following is a great film, and one of the best film noir's I've ever seen. If you liked Memento, then I highly recommend seeing this piece of movie art.
Running Time: 1 hour 11 minutes
Grade: 9/10
