Surprising performance from Williams

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2002)

I can't stand Robin Williams. He's incredibly annoying, vaguely talented and has verbal diahorrea.
As the killer playing against Al Pacino's cop, he was actually very good and brought much to one of his darkest roles.
The name of the film comes from the location of the killing -- in Alaska where it is light for months on end [even at night], as Pacino is slowly driven mad by the perennial brightness.
Definitely worth seeing, and one of Pacino's better roles in recent years. He's ageing well.
