Don't go to sleep! There is a crime to solve.

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2002)

This is a thriller that just keeps stacking on the intrigue and excitement. Powerful and masterful acting. Al Pacino is a high profile detective that goes to Alaska with his partner to help out in a murder case. Hilary Swank plays a young cop that is also trying to solve the crime along with the Alaskan police. After Pacino accidentally kills his partner, he is blackmailed by the hunted sadistic killer(Robin Williams)who witnessed the shooting. When Pacino is not playing cat and mouse with Williams, he is trying like hell to get some sleep; but sleep doesn't come.

Pacino is convincing and it is really interesting to see the darker side of Williams. Swank is actually impressive and could have handled a meatier role. Kudos to director Christopher Nolan for the atmospheric chiller. Highly recommended.
