Kept ME awake!

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2002)

I'm a huge follower of Chris Nolan's, after seeing both Memento and Following (in that order), and it was with much anticipation that I awaited his third directorial outing, Insomnia. I haven't seen the original movie this film is based on, but I certainly would like to, based upon the plot,which is an extremely brilliant and thoughtful one. I did enjoy this version of it, I wasn't nodding off in the theatre, but I do have to say it lacked that thrilling kinky edge of both Following and Memento; there is something to be said for non-linear storylines and Nolan is brilliant at them. I hope in his next film he explores that sort of thing again.
