Quotes: "-How can I explain? You ever been to a football match just to let your eyes rise and go over drift across a crowd of people, and then slowly start to fix on one person? And all of a sudden that person isn't part of the crowd anymore. They've become an individual, just like that."

Not up to par with Nolan's later films but still a movie worth watching. Even with this film Nolan likes experimenting with time and timelines, the story is well laid out though and never really confusing.

Stunning debut for Nolan. This fast paced and thrilling story about possession and desire will not leave you unmoved.

From now on Nolan will be referred to by me as Christopher Lemon. TWIST! This one was pretty clever I must say.

Really shows the potential of Chris Nolan, but has a few script and pacing issues

A stand-out.

this cant be a directors first movie. just perfect..

It's well-crafted and clever, but it's only clever for the sake of being clever. The entire plot hinges on the protagonist being a gullible, stupid creep and I had a hard time sympathizing with him.

brilliant!

Nolan's debut, and what a great debut! Clearly a low budget movie but it has the characteristic twists and turns we know from Nolan's other movies.

Taken on its own, it's not a bad movie, but a little overly straightforward for the level of narrative-twisting weirdness it was trying for. Taken as the film debut of Christopher Nolan, it's interesting that (GREAT STONKING SPOILERS) in this movie, to get the kind of intricate puzzle plot he loves, he had to have a character with a ridiculously intricate plan; later, he'd find ways to either make it more subtle or, in the Batman movies, more consciously over-the-top.

Really entertaining idea executed well. Story telling can still bloom despite low budgets and this just proves that idea. Though it's not as good as his other films, this is a great beginning point for Nolan.

The lead ain't much of an actor, but hell, Nolan really had talent already in his early days. Great plot, script, idea. Supporting character: great. Seems like his whole family played a part in the production, if you look at the credits. Fun.

Christopher Nolan's debut hit, which strikes a clever and thrilling chord, as is typical of the now legendary director.
