Not Memento but Intriguing Nevertheless

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2002)

Not 'Memento', but extremely well made, nevertheless. Al Pacino is perfectly cast in this role. The entire cast is exceptional in fact. Hillary Swank gives a wonderful performance as a keen cop in Alaska, as does Robin Williams, in a creepier than usual role.
I was a bit apprehensive to see this film after viewing the trailer. I thought the trailer gave away too much. But the story isn't one of those that keeps you guessing "who done it", but rather "how are they gonna get out of it". Nolan keeps you on your seat, and by the end of the movie, you are in fact physically tired - feeling the very insomnia that gives inspiration to the films name.
