A Masterpiece...

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2002)

It's been a good while since I've gone to the movies and seen a movie that FULLY met my expectations. I had high expectations for Insomnia...with Al Pacino (one of my all time favorite actors), Robin Williams (who I DEFINITELY prefer in serious roles, remember "Awakenings") and Christopher Nolan, who did Memento...I really expected this film to be something special. This film is simply a masterpiece. The whole look of the film, the wonderful, engaging story and the aura that Nolan presents with his filmmaking is just brilliant. Pacino and Williams were absolutely awesome in this film...I feel there should be Oscar nominations for these two...Pacino especially. This film is HIGHLY recommended, I don't remember the last time I came out of a movie theater as satisfied as I was with Insomnia. This is easily the best film I've seen so far this year.
