A great performance by Pacino and Williams

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2005)

Al Pacino plays Detective Dormer, an LA detective who is sent to Alaska with his partner to investigate the murder of a young woman. Accusations of Dormers corrupt past disrupt his investigations and he finds himself almost blackmailed by the principle suspect (Williams). Combined with the 24 hours of daylight in Alaska, Dormer has difficulty differentiating the facts of the case from the lies.
It's always good to see Robin Williams do something other than comedy as he makes a great bad guy. Al Pacino's performance was excellent and his appearance as someone who hadn't slept for several days was very convincing. I enjoyed watching Dormer becoming progressively implicated in the investigation and try to stay one step ahead of Detective Burr (Swank).
