Way better than i expected

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2010)

Insomnia!!!A decent enough crime detective story that will keep you on your toes guessing. A typically good performance by Pacino who starts feeling insomniac due to the night-less Alaska as well as the pressure of the case gets to him. He has to detect a criminal case where a homicide is been committed.Heis been send to solve the case in the small Alaskan town.He faces a lot of hurdles.Put to many challenges by the death of his partner & his link with his death.Everything good he has done in the past is put on line.He has to take certain decisions on which the case is dependent & also his values.Hilary Swank does a fantastic job as a new detective.Her performance is quite good in this movie.However Pacino steals the show with his charisma.The only weak performance i think was from Robin Williams.He never suited the role that was given to him.
A job well done by Christopher Nolan.But this movie is not in the class of 'Memento' or 'The Prestige'.A good detective flick no doubt.Will Pacino be able to solve the case.And make redemption for all the things he has done in the past. A definitely one time watch for Pacino.
