Great Al Pacino with Great Director

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2010)

We can consider " Insomnia " a new style Hitchcock movie . This movie has a unique vision of director Christopher Nolan which takes place in far north Alaskan town which never gets dark and they refer it as " white nights " , and this is one of the main keys and centers all the dark events moving around . Christopher Nolan is a very intelligent director and he transfers his ' unique ' ideas to the audience through unusual ways . Its a dark movie in a non dark place and there is some sort of mystery around a girl murder occurred that local authority can't deal with . Al Pacino played the leading role as detective " Dormer " who is sent to investigate that murder . Since Pacino's character is not used to the constant daylight he has problems sleeping throughout the film. This lack of sleep leads Pacino's character to make huge mistakes throughout the film . While watching the film the audience feels the pain that Al Pacino is going through, while also feeling as though they have not gotten sleep for six days either , and here appears why Christopher Nolan is a great director in the modern days of cinema industry . Robin Williams surprisingly plays the murderer character " Finch " a local non-famous writer and its quite opposite what we used to see Williams's do in his movies .
