Endless Possibility

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2013)

I must say, that when I heard that Nolan had made a film starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams about a detective that gets no sleep, I was pretty damn excited to see it. Pacino was perfect for his role, and it was an interesting casting decision to make Williams a villain. The plot was good, but not spectacular, probably because it wasn't written by Nolan. What I must stress, however, is that this story had incredible potential and could have been Nolan's best movie if done correctly. The idea of getting no sleep is a very haunting concept, especially while hunting for a murderer. Nolan loves focusing on emotion and psychology, and honestly I didn't see a lot of that at all in this film. Sure, the good cop/bad cop aspect was interesting, but it was neither what I was expecting or what I honestly would have preferred. This was still an above-average film, but nowhere near as good as it could have been with a director, actors, and concept like this.
