This is definitely Nolan's most intimite,and thought-provoking piece. Not to say that Memento or Insomnia are bad,but they were definitely up to more Hollywood standards...while Following is more of an indie flick. The story is very brilliant,and very well developed. Overall...watch this if your a fan of any of Nolan's work,I'm sure you'll be able to appreciate it more.

Hendrix
(2000 TV Movie)
Definitely disappointing
9 March 2003
I'm a big fan of Jimi,and this music totally ruins itself soon after it starts. The camera work for one,is horrible. The zooms and constant angle changes don't convey any kind of meaning, they just make you dizzy. Also, I didn't like how it went from stock footage from the actual 60's to pretty little film, it didn't fit. The plot was extremely slow, and the only reason I kept watching it was because of the music, and the acting was good, but horrible direction.

Good movie, disturbing and truly twisted

This movie is one of those movies that people either really like or really hate. I for one happen to be in love with dark,twisted movies,and this one is no exception. I'm not going to waste my time explaining the plot, there are many other comments already on here that can do that,but I'll state why I like this movie. I've always liked Andrew Kevin Walker, but Joel Schumacher...never really liked what he's done, but this has to be his best. The imagery in the film is very depicting of filth and can stick to your head. The music in some scenes is brutal and disgusting, and the acting is superb. I really like Cage and Gandolfini together. Gandolfini brings his brutal character physique and aggressive personality alive, and puts together the perfect porno advertiser or whatever. The story had a few flaws, but I'm glad it got made. Actually, I wasn't surprised one bit why it had such a low rating, it was filthy. Most people don't want to see this, as it shows the pure weaknesses of our society, primarily American. I'm sure if this took place in Asia, it wouldn't be as bad. Give it a shot, and be fair, but still, proceed with caution.
