Entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2003)

This movie was better than a lot of flicks out there. Al Pacino is a cop from LA, who goes to Alaska, to help solve a murder. It is during the time of year, where it never gets dark there. A steak out goes wrong and he shoots another cop but blames the killer they are after. The killer calls him and basically black males him into pinning the murder on another guy so he won't tell the cops Al really shot his partner.
The acting is good. And I liked how Al's character was getting more crazy as the movie went along because he couldn't sleep. You could say it was the daylight, but more likely it is his conscience that won't let him sleep. The killer, played by Robin Williams, meets up with Al and tries to say he killed the girl accidentally, but obviously, he's a little crazy. Of course, the cop instinct finally overcomes Al and decides not to go along with the killer's plan and to take the blame for the shooting of his partner. Hillary Swank, the cop who admires Al, comes in at the end and plays a role in the final meeting between Robin and Al.
FINAL VERDICT: Decent. I recommend it for those looking for a movie with a plot that that actually has a little individuality.
