Good Film

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2002)

Insomnia is an interesting film. The plot is not extremely original, but I don't think the plot was what Christopher Nolan wants his audience to focus on. The most interesting thing about this film was the motivations of characters and how they interact with each other. Al Pacino gives a superb performance as a tired insomniac detective and Robin William's character is a perfect counter to him. Robin William's character also gives a wonderful performance that shows his versatility as an actor. The shots and picture in this film are fantastic and are starkly different from Nolan's earlier film Memento. Insomnia is a good film to see for any person who likes mysteries, thrillers or psychological films. I give it 3 and half stars out of 4. Excellent film.
