Very disappointing, formulaic, predictable, LONG & BORING

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2002)

I just got home from this movie and really hope to warn others... Save your money! I found the film to be a complete bore; it barely moved along at a snail's pace, and the suspense was non-existent. My date and I agreed that there is a *purpose* for Insomnia, however, as it could truly put the audience to sleep! Watching Al Pacino go day after day without sleep and nodding in and out of consciousness, we found ourselves also doing just that. The gunshots towards the end, however, served to jerk the audience awake. I was very eager to see this movie as the trailers seemed to offer so much more. In the end, however, I felt as if I had been in the theater for a week rather than a couple of hours. Extremely disappointing!
