MY THOUGHTS

The first feature film by Christopher Nolan shows a major new talent in the making.

Nolan would soon bring Memento, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to the big screen.
Following is done on a much, much smaller budget but is just as riveting and entertaining as those films.

The film is just as dark and clever as Memento, but told in a much more conventional style, making it easier to follow on a first viewing. The film does jump a bit in time, but this is resolved quickly and doesn't become too confusing.
It was ironic to see one of the flats the duo robbed had a Batman bat-logo on the front door, knowing Nolan's future.

The acting is solid and the music greatly adds to the tense atmosphere to many scenes.

Overall, a very exciting and intriguing movie.
