Overall Call:
This is Christopher Nolan's first film and has many similar characteristics to his second, Memento. Following is a black and white twisted tale. It is told in flash forward and back edit style that helps the story reveal itself more then actually tell it. The acting is so so but the story is a great "try and figure it out" mystery. After watching Following you quickly realize that it was Nolan's calling card to get more money to do the real film he had in mind. See this film for it's story it's a quick flick under an hour and a half and much better than the bulk of what is on TV.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ A nice method of storytelling
