Dark despite its light scenes

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2015)

Watching first later Nolan movies, it's easy to see a decreasing amount of intensity of adult content. Warning: not sexual content, to violent and intense content. Memento was very intense, this, the next Nolan movie, is way less intense, though far higher in intensity than what you see in the dark knight trilogy.
I don't know what was the original movie like, but this movie certainly was not bad. Direction managed just as in memento to bring the viewer into the character's perspective, Al Pacino acted very well, just as Robin Williams in his unusually really dark role. Visuals were very good as well, with some stunning Alaskan views.
just as I said in Memento, content of this film is quite intense. To compare with other movies from Nolan, on a 1 to 100 scale: Memento is 100, Batman Begins around 30-40, Inception 35, The Dark knight 40-50, Interstellar 10, and Insomnia is a 80-90. Not that much for the amount of gore, more for the way that minimal is depicted, and how a gruesome murder is described towards the end. These two give a high-level of intensity to the movie. So expect that from it.
