A bit slow, but with strong cast

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2012)

It is a pretty for-certain success when/if you combine sense issues with a middle-of-nowhere landscape which provides additional vacuity and thrill; Iceland, Canada, Scotland are the best known locations. In spite of the events going on in Alaska, the movie was shot in British Columbia, i.e. Canada.
Christophen Nolan is fond of mystery movies running their course - and Insomnia is no exception. At times the scenes are too long and only thanks to Al Pacino's excellent performance you won't yawn or longing for the imminent end... Robbie Williams and Hilary Swank are also worth watching but they spend much less time on the screen than Pacino. And a nice "supporting actor" is the landscape and background...
I have not seen the original Norwegian movie, but the one in question can still be recommended. Especially for those who like Pacino and Williams - you won't be disappointed.
