Great Fight with Insomnia

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2002)

The writers and director of this film definitely express a distinct genius for film making. The story line is consistent, as are the characters. The suspension of disbelief is carried right up to the brink of climax. This story has a unique perspective, if not a factual one when it comes to insomnia, as I know from experience. Staying awake for days at a time is exactly what this movie brings to life. Ed Norton is the consummate geek looking for that ultimate professional yuppie rush, and having met Brad Pitt, he is playing himself with an exciting twist. Overlooking the Studio's required violence, some of which is necessary to make the film work, this is a great flick.
