Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2002)

Chris Nolan, my man. Comes through again on another beautifully done movie as the follow up to Memento. While it was impossible for Insomnia to out do Memento, since Memento was one of the most intriguing movies of all time, Insomnia was just a quality movie. With such an all-star cast, some movies have been known to become to cluttered trying to get everyone their share of screen time, but this was not the case. Everyone served their role perfectly and Pachino gives a very Oscar caliber performance. I gotta say though, Nolan has released both his movies far away from Oscar time. I think that hurt him last year with Memento but hopefully won't hurt him this year. I'm guessing the high-octane cast will keep this movie in Oscar voters minds for the upcoming nominations. Nolan has arrived. I can't wait to see what he has in store next.
