I wanted to like it, but thinking about it caused me not to sleep.

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2003)

The good things are the setting, the acting, and Nicky Katt. Does that Nicky guy rule or what? The whole internal affairs angle has been done many times. Why didn't Pacino just shoot Williams when chasing him along the lumber dock? They tried to use every scene that has been done before. How many killer movies have come out in the past 10 years that seem the same as this? I got the feeling I was watching Seven set in the Alaskan wilderness at the beginning.
I hope the original version of this film is not as cliched as this. Pacino gives a good performance even though I really never felt for him not sleeping. I give Insomnia a 5/10. Fair to Good
