只花了六千美元，与后来的《盗梦空间》《致命魔术》这些大制作比起来，九牛一毛。
先看过了那些大制作，再回来看这部处女作，由繁入简，倒有一种清新的感觉。手持摄像机单镜头，黑白影像，又总是让人联想希区柯克。
故事不多说，一个套中套，计中计，连环骗。打碎时间线讲故事，诺兰的风格从一开始就很鲜明。
正式的角色只有三四个，金发女和警察甚至都没有自己的名字。两男主，Bill是再寻常不过的名字，是真是假都不好说；Cobb，这不就是《盗梦空间》里小李子的角色吗？
片中正式有名有姓的，是他们偷来的一张信用卡，Danny Lloyd，是库布里克《闪灵》中小男孩的演员。——诺兰是个库布里克迷。这部《尾随》中Bill的房间里就有《闪灵》的海报，著名的“Here's Johnny”。还有玛丽莲-梦露，昆汀的《落水狗》，卡萨布兰卡，和日落大道（Sunset Blvd.）。
房间的门上贴着蝙蝠侠的图片——理想还是要有的，后来诺兰就导演了黑暗骑士三部曲。
Cobb的至理之言：
Everyone has a box.
Just because you broke into people's homes doesn't mean you need to look like a fucking burglar.
You're developing a taste for it - the violating, the voyeurism... it's definitely you.
It's like a diary. They hide it. But actually they want someone to see it. That's what I do.
That's what it's all about - interrupting someone's life, making them see all the things they took for granted. Like when they go back and buy all this stuff from the shelves with the insurance money, they'll have to think for the first time in a long time why they wanted all this stuff, what it's for. You take it away, and show them what they had.
话不多说，我要去看他的《记忆碎片》。
