Hitchcock's unexpected ending + Nolan's brain-burning logical reasoning, Reivew on Following

The deliberately broken timeline is Nolan's personal style, which in a sense weakens the Greek-style suspense and thriller, and adds a "logical brain-burning game" style that Nolan is better at.

The director's original words as to why it was edited this way are as follows: In a compelling story of this genre we are continually being asked to rethink our assessment of the relationship between the various characters, and I decided to structure my story in such a way as to emphasize the audience's incomplete understanding of each new scene as it is first presented.
