Following (1998)

A jobless young wannabe writer (Bill) has a fascination in following random strange people. He gets obsessed with one man in particular, Cobb, who happens to be a thief. Bill and Cobb break into a lot of homes and collect a lot of personal items from these houses.

Bill gets close to a blonde woman. He had actually broken into her house too. He pulls a favor for her. She is actually with a bald guy.

In the end, Bill realizes that he has been used nicely by Cobb and the bald guy. He was just a decoy who gets pulled into the situation due to his own peeping/following nature

Hits

• The totally non-linear screenplay. It is in 3 different blocks with the lead guy's getup giving pointers about the time and place. 
• Both the lead guys look chic and smart. The way Bill gets caught due to his own fancies and fantasies, is ironic. The blonde lady also has a role to play. She looks hot and just when we think she is part of the plan, we realize that she is the target. 
• The BG score has just one recurring theme which is rocking. Perfect for the thrill and suspense. 

VERDICT

'The Master' Christopher Nolan's debut. What a first movie! Short and sweet thriller.
