Insomnia would have been helpful to stay awake

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2002)

You would think that 3 Academy Award winners would boost the quality of this movie. Think again.
The pace of the movie was plodding, almost as if you were sleepwalking through it. Now, it may have been totally on purpose, but I was extremely restless, waiting for something (anything!) to happen. If the movie wanted to convey the feeling of disorientation etc associated with sleep deprivation (and suffered by Al Pacino's character), by God, they managed to do it quite well.
I guess I got my money's worth: I went to a free screening so paid nothing. I would recommend you see this movie only when it shows up on cable (save your money!) and only if you were suffering from Insomnia (guaranteed cure!).
