Stunned

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2002)

Its rare these days that I am affected by a film, yet this film has done so.
The script, direction, cinematography and acting in this film are superb.
A palatable tension pervades this piece, which left me on edge through most of the film.
The few action sequences were well weighted without any over the top audience pleasers.
I went into the film expecting nothing from it as a knew virtually nought about it and emerged stunned.
Mr Nolan I salute you, I didn't care for Memento at all, but Insomnia is in IMO superb. Thank You.
BTW I release this is remake of a 1997 film, this does not negate the merits of Nolans vision of Erik Skjoldbjaerg's original. If the original is better than this I would be most impressed indeed.
A very rare 9/10
