Pacino plays Dupin

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2014)

The film follows the common story of the crime thrillers films,there's a murder,two cops and a killer.
But Insomnia is a journey into the mind of the criminal and the mind of a violent detective.
The way that Pacino tries to get the answer resembles much of Auguste Dupin,like knowing the words of a killer and so he can know who is the killer and who is not. Pacino plays so well that hard-boiled detective.
Pacino kills his partner in a weird persecution,i have to say that gives to the film a great line,the killer knows something,the cop knows something.
And Williams plays a nervous killer,in the beginning when Pacino and Williams meet,he looks confident,but he is not,he is scared and that is what gives good suspense to this film.
Honestly i expected a twist,common in Nolan Films (Memento,Inception,etc)
If you like crime,detectives,noir films,you must watch Insomnia.
