Interesting meld of Stars' typecasting

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2002)

I was fortunate enough to see this as a premiere in Halifax last night.
Those of you expecting Memento Revisited - lower your expectations. Ultimately, this is a nice film noir mystery - where the mystery lies not in Whodunit? but rather in Whatshegonnado?
Pacino's role is a recap of his Serpico role - but this time with a far more selfish twist, as he slips into series of bad decisions resulting from some serious sleep deprivation. Williams' role as Finch is simply his gentle academic (see Good Will Hunting and Awakenings) turned desperate.
Perpetually illuminated, this drama is character driven and intriguing as a study of the motivations within us.
Find yourself in a quandry - you never know how you'll react - and that's the question you'll be asking yourself as you walk out -- How would I handle these situations?
