this is Christopher Nolan’s debut, and considering the budget was only $6000, it’s actually a surprisingly good movie. this’ll definitely be my least favourite Nolan movie, but that’s not because it’s bad - all of his other movies are just way better. Nolan is known for his non-linear narratives, and we can definitely see the start of his signature style shining through, even in his first project. the plot is pretty basic, and there weren’t really any standout scenes, but there are a few good twists in there which really help to bring the film together.

it’s quite clearly a “student film”, especially with all the unknown actors, but you can still see it’s the start of what has made him one of the greatest directors of our time. all of the characters were pretty boring, and i didn’t bother growing a liking to any of them. i’m not a huge fan of black-and-white movies, but considering all the challenges he had to go through to make this film possible, i ended up respecting it a lot more than i thought i would. if this movie wasn’t made by Nolan, i’m sure it wouldn’t have as high of a rating as it does, but at least it’s only up from here!

I would say im the average movie watcher but this year im really trying to watch more movies which is why my goal is to watch each Christopher Nolan film by the end of the year. This was Nolan’s debut and I enjoyed it. I loved the style of this film with the noir vibe. And the mood of this film was so dark which i liked. I honestly think with better performances from the actors this could’ve been a 9/10 film. And this movie also feels like a film student trying to recreate Nolan’s style which is what you would expect since this is Nolan’s first film. Im going to give this movie a 7.8/10 or 3.5 stars because Nolan creates this amazing stylistic burglary movie.
