Nothing special, story is pretty flat and the atmosphere is not really great

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2014)

Nothing thrilling, it is more like a procedural with some twists. The procedural wasn't tense and the twists therefore just happened along the way.
To me there is a nonchalant way of telling this story, embodied by the ever nonchalant Pacino. The Internal Affairs back-story may have looked brilliant at the time, but it totally dilutes the case and actual setting. Choosing permanent daylight season may have looked brilliant too but it loses the edginess of a tired cop too used to open his eyes in the dark.
In the end nothing really caught my eye - I would even say I found the overall editing of the story choppy - and most of all the Insomnia gimmick didn't work and fast became annoying.
