The Best Film of 2002

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2002)

I just saw Insomnia last nite, and I have to say its with out a doubt...the best film of the year. From Christopher Nolen, the director who brought us the amazing Memento, comes this bleak tale of a cop on the edge trying to bring in a brutal murderer. This film is actually a remake of a 1997 Norwegian film starring Stellen Skarsgard. Where has I haven't seen that version, I doubt it could top the performances & mood that this film gave us. I don't want to give to much away, so I will just give u some thoughts on the films main lead, Al Pacino. Pacino has become one of those actors like Jack Nicholson, it just feels like there rehashing the same old act. For Pacino, the manic & loud type. In this film he looks worn down & seemingly on the edge of crumbling. A truly rewarding mystery, with a cold atmosphere & dark performances...you fans can all keep your Star Wars, give me good old fashioned ACTING any day. Rating: 10/10
