Excellent

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2002)

I just came out of this film and i thought it was absolutely brilliant. I won't even try to compare it to Memento because they are such different films. This is a slow moving, claustraphobic film, with great performances by all involved, Al Pacino is one of the best actors in the world and can always be relied for a fantastic performance, Robin Williams also gives a great performance, a lot of people have said that he was scary/crazy enough, but for me the character was played perfectly, as someone who really didn't believe he was a killer but was really just a lunatic waiting to boil over, Hillary Swank was good in a smaller roll. The direction from Christopher Nolan was excellent, i loved the little flashes of light and the use of sound as a distraction for Will Dormer who hadn't slept in six days and couldn't concentrate on anything, little things like that are so often overlooked. Overall, great film, brilliant performances, a little bit slow 8/10
