Well done film.

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2003)

Thoroughly enjoyable film. I must confess, I am not a big fan of Robin Williams. His constant overacting nauseates me. In "Insomnia" however, his acting was sufficiently restrained to make him believable. Pacino was great as usual and Hillary Swank was convincing as a small town aspiring detective. The biggest credit, however, must go to the director. The movie was well paced and kept the suspense in all the right moments. Granted, I have never suffered from insomnia, but Christopher Nolan first-person cinematic portrayal is exactly how I imagine actual insomnia to be. Overall, this film was performed by capable actors, and executed by a skilled director with a vision.
