You Won't Sleep

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2017)

Impossible to sleep while watching this movie! Why? Its a thriller for one thing full of a good story with fine acting and directing. To make it even more interesting, it takes place in Alaska and has story within story dynamics something that if done right is most satisfying to viewers. This is done right. It takes a short while to get used to Robin in a serious role but it works so well. Pacino is worth the price of a ticket on his own too. He makes such a good cop because he is an experienced actor. Small town life here is worth noting with everyone knowing everyone else and complications don't exist. Life is predicable and repeats itself making you wonder if that is what everyone has in common who lives there? The entire little town seems to be fenced in with mountains but does have ferry boat, waterway and sea plane access as well as long stretches of highway all scenic as a plus. I bet the air there is as clean as you can get it. Good movie to snack on as the story unfolds or have a sandwich ready to go with a tasty drink. One thing that bears noting is the way Pacino has trouble literally keeping his eyes open as he is acting out not being able to sleep for days. If you watch his expressions, I warn you upfront, you may get a little drowsy but do finish the movie at all costs. Then nap if you can
