    An impressive, given the budget et al., feature film debut from Mr. Nolan! Not that the aforementioned is a surprise, of course. Still, this is a great watch, no doubt about it for me. I particularly appreciated the score, which is very good. Jeremy Theobald and Alex Haw give strong performances, especially the latter; who kept reminding me of a young Kevin Durand. As you'd expect, this has many early hallmarks of Nolan's work - the obvious being the non-linear storytelling. I really like how the story is told here, the premise is intriguing and it ends up wrapping up nicely. The 70 minute run time, although not unwelcome, is shorter than I wanted, only because I happily would've watched this flick develop further. I still gotta tick off <em>'Memento'</em>, <em>'Insomnia'</em> and <em>'The Prestige'</em> to complete Christopher Nolan's filmography. <em>'Following'</em> is now logged and I'd recommend it. On the topic of this director's movies, I'd rank this higher than (the still very good) <em>'Dunkirk'</em>, <em>'The Dark Knight Rises'</em> and, narrowly, <em>'Tenet'</em>.
